Oh, how I get this. My mother is like this and blames all my mental health issues on me not reading the bible enough or not praying enough. She didn't see me crying myself to sleep while praying every night for months straight so I know she means well but frankly is full of it. My faith helps me hold on to the edge with my fingernails but it sure as heck doesn't make me feel better. And going to other Christians for support is always a risk because the first reaction seems to be to blame you for being sick and then gossip about you with everybody. I don't go to church anymore, I trust God but I can't stand people anymore.
