I guess all im looking for is prayers and encouragement from people who might understand as i figure this out, and also just to get it off my chest. thanks <3

I can relate. I felt empty, confused, miserable, out of touch...thought I lost all faith at one point. It was very scary, and I felt very alone. I never felt that way before, either...
A good friend introduced me to a local clergy person of my faith (he knew of my situation and what lead to me feel that way), and we talked and talked and talked and talked. It felt like hours. Actually, I talked ... a lot.
I don't know how it happened, but he was asking me all the right questions, or something, because suddenly I felt clear again and in tune and in touch. It felt like the wind was back in my sails
I cannot really explain it because it feels so sacred.
I would encourage you, my dear, to speak with someone (very wise) of your faith who knows how you have been struggling and a little background as to why you are hurting. I hope they can guide you, as well .
