New Atheist, depressed, and wondering how to cope with reality.

[AtheistMom]

I know how you're feeling. I have to live with my mormon inlaws. It's scary to think that my family could be kicked out of the house because my husband and I are atheists. It's also scary to think about death at times, but what I take comfort in is that I try to do something good for someone else every day. Just the little things that touch other peoples lives in a positive way. Helping the old woman bad her groceries, using my first aid knowledge to assist in an emergency.

Doing these little things whenever I can really helps me to feel better about my life and the fact that I have helped even in a small way that maybe I'll have done some good in this world that will be remembered.

Don't spend your life worrying about what happens after you die. Spend your life doing good wherever you can! See if you can get your first aid training. See if your community has a Community Emergency Response Team (CERT). That's what I do. I am trained so that in case of a disaster situation, I'm trained to assist emergency personnel in medical treatment of victims and search and rescue.

Doing these kinds of good things can make you not only feel better about yourself, but will make a difference in the lives of the people you encounter every day.
