i dont have issues of blame or feeling like god doesnt care. also my congregation has been really supportive during my ups and downs, not just for me but for my whole family.
its me. im not 3 dimentional in my spirituality right now and i also dont want to just go through the motions. i want to want it but most of the time it just seems so overwhelming.
they say fake it till you make it and thats what im trying to do but its hard.

I completely understand what you are saying here. I "feel it" to the extreme while manic and it is very hard to feel connected once I've lived through that.
