I am tired of people (and counselors) always bringing up religion..
"Have you tried joining a church?"
"Have you prayed about this?"
And..the worst.."all things work out with God/ God never puts more on us than we can bear"..
(tell that* lat one top the many who have commited suicide)

I understand that works for/ helps people...but it never has worked for me.

It's almost like they don't want to dig and get to the source of your issue, or offer real, ~tangible~ help..just blow you off with some "join a church/ pray about it...have a nice day" type stuff...

Even on an online forum i was at..when I asked this..they were all "what's wrong with religion? Are you an atheist?" blah blah...

I would never be so insulting or demeaning of *their* beliefs....why can't they grant me the same courtesy/ respect?..

@fatpossum May I ask to have a little more detail? What area or topic of resources would you like?

As I put this under "Depression Support'....I'm looking for what i said..
Resources, links, chats, groups, maybe therapists/ LCSW in my area that *don't* go on about religion, or make that part of their counseling.
