Stop Forcing Your Religion on Me When I'm Depressed

I agree. Don’t bring religion up whenever someone’s having a hard time :/ Doesn’t help whatsoever

I can find it really frustrating, especially if it’s coming from people I barely know when people or use it dismissively, but reminding myself that the person saying “I’ll pray for you” or “god bless you” genuinely believes that they are helping through their prayer really helps me appreciate it. Usually it’s a kindness, and they don’t realize that they are making us uncomfortable with it.

I hate it too. If I'm not religious don't say that stuff to me 😩

Omw, I've dealt with this today. I do believe in God, but like man... That does not help me when people say stuff like that. I feel pretty neglected at the end of it, and it makes me very angry. I get that He does and all, but sometimes I just want to be open and talk about how I feel without people saying stuff like that. I'm sorry you had to deal with this. I know how you feel.

Spiritual person here, yet I very much understand your frustration. “God loves you” is a very dismissive statement that doesn’t offer any help or encouragement from the person saying this. As comforting as it could be to a religious person, it’s still a quick way out in my opinion. Would be much more meaningful if people offered to pray for you or just be a good samaritan and ask what they can do to help. The toxic positivity is a cop out, I’m sorry believers have made you feel like this 💔

Yeah that shits annoying . Like ok God loves me enough to make me suicidal af?? The other day my bfs mom was like don't say you have back pain, you have to believe that everything will be okay so God can help you .like alot of ppl think that of you speak your illnesses aloud you're gonna never get better and then they always pray on disabled people like leave us alone lol
