I feel like...all I can do is cope with life now. I don't see what there is to look forward to, or to take reassurance in. Everything just seems empty.
(Why yes, I'm on meds and seeing a counselor. Doesn't help much.)
Happiness is what you make of it. Just as people shouldn't rely on others to make them happy, you shouldn't need some invisible entity to give happiness to you. If you do, then perhaps some a better counselor might be in order. Perhaps maybe you're looking at atheism all wrong. Stick around and ask more questions. Read past threads and hopefully you can gain a better understanding.
