Hello, New atheist having a meltdown
#52
RE: Hello, New atheist having a meltdown
I'm very sorry to hear you suffer from anxiety and depression. These are things I know a lot about. I have been depressed for large portions of my life, including being close to suicidal for the last 10 years. My anxiety is sometimes so crippling that I can barely move or function. You have my deepest sympathy.

I've somehow managed to keep on fighting, while resisting the urge to succumb to drink or drugs, which would be my equivalent of a religious effect. I haven't killed myself, despite wanting to every day, by focusing on reasons not to, in my case my wife and pets.

I'm not suggesting you are suicidal and I certainly hope you're not, I just wanted to give an impression from someone who has managed without religion with similar problems. I can totally understand that religion has left a hole in your life, and that the natural reaction is to clamour for something to replace it.
Feel free to send me a private message.
