So the other day I was saying my day was turning to shit for X or Y stupid reason (as I have a generalized anxiety disorder and I suspect I’m also a borderline I don’t need much to feel that way) and this very catholic girl told me if I wanted to feel great I could go to the Wednesday mass if I wanted. I smiled at her and thank God, we had to return to our work. She was sweet and all and probably, like most people, had no idea on how bad I really felt. Anyway it was not the first time I heard a “God is the answer” speech. I used to be very into God myself in my childhood to my early teenage days but I can t believe that God is behind every thing and has a real power over my life else I must call him a sadist and I wouldn’t see a point in worshipping a sadistic God. So no, “God can’t be the answer to mental illness ” at least not in my case.

I relate to this post tbh. All my life i grew up around the christian ideology of god is the savior, answer, and guide. But I honestly don’t see it that way. So i see what you mean.
Im not even religious, Im not atheist either Im just not sure idk… I deffinitely dont buy the whole idea of organized church stuff like wtf do you seriously think that god is such a narcisist that he wants you to build a giant fking temple for him, worship him and even sacrifice your basic needs such as sex and reproduction to please him? Thats bullshit. But I dont agree with what you said about God having power over your life. Christians belive that god gave you freedom of choice (thats what differs us from animals). So either if God exists or not, you are the one responsible for your life anyway.
I m not saying God if he exists is responsible for my mistakes, but I had to deal with hardcore shit as a child (like being raped and losing my father) and I never recovered from it obviously. If you follow some Christians everything happens for a reason and if you suffer it is because God is testing me so I can become a better person and if I by some magic survive that shit it will be thanks to him. I just can’t think the same way they do is all
My depression and life actually got way better after I stopped believing in God lol
