how to hold on to atheism when things keep getting worse?

Will the promise of a happily ever after help you? Because that is all that religion has for you. Would you turn from logical thinking because you were mad at your life? Does 2+2 become 5 because you are upset? The initial question of how do you hold on is logic. You think that regardless of what you are feeling it comes down to there is still no god to make life magically better. Bad things happen to good people every single day. Now on to the bad things happening I think a few others kind of covered those bases but I will add in that while you may not be able help the depression the rest of it isn't worth losing your life over. I have been abused, I've had to restart my life just like you. I went through a very dark decade but it isn't worth a life. Start looking at the silver lining. You have an apartment so you have somewhere to live. I won't sit here and act like your pain isn't valid but please for your own sake try to embrace this new life of yours and if necessary get medical help for the depression.
