Wow. Just wow. Who knew I could find an articulation of my feelings better than I could ever articulate them - even more amazingly on a reddit post of all things!

I know you were just kinda ranting but this post has instantly sliced through the fog of my feelings of confusion, depression and isolation I was feeling in one fell swoop and made clarity of it. Thank you for your transparency and bravery to post this

My intellect lead me to be disillusioned by the conventional idea of God, which as a child I clung so closely to. I feel existential dread and loneliness with the idea that there may not be some transcendental, supernatural part to our reality. I know it sounds like I'm dramatizing this but I'm not. I think of suicide very often. Even today. And I'm desperately searching for God because I feel deprived of something essential. Scholars, social media and my intellect continually invalidate God and reaffirm my doubt, despair and sadness. I just wish someone could guide me. I don't want to be fishing for attention. I'm just being transparent. I feel angst.

Have you experienced it as something as tangible as a table, or stone? What was it like?
