Does being catholic actually work? I reconverted 2 years ago and I thought I would feel the same”joy” everyone talks about but I don’t. I just don’t feel like life is worth living and I want to get it over with as soon as possible. I don’t even see the point of being alive tbh. It’s not like I have a bad life or anything, sure i had a bad childhood and I have a shitty job, lots of false starts and broken dreams, but overall I’m fine. I live in America, I have an apartment, just enough money to eat and do stuff. No reason to feel this way but I do. Did you guys feel this way and did it change? If so, how?

Have you ever been to adoration?
Yeah
What were your thoughts about it?
Sometimes nice, sometimes boring, sometimes anger that I have to sit and stare at bread instead of having an actual conversation back and forth with words, knowing full well he could choose to talk to me but lets me flail around in the dark instead
You don’t HAVE to be there, and most importantly IT’S NOT BREAD!!
Duh
Wow I so relate to this comment. It feels like I am just talking to my subconscious or a spirit when I'm praying, and God supposedly does not care enough to highlight which voice is his and which one is not and I have to go through the painstaking "discernment" process of guessing who is who. Doesn't make sense at all. I like your nick btw
Boo hoo hoo! You have to go through discernment to pray to God!! Oh how you suffer!!
Wow, what a rude and insensitive comment. Shame on me I guess for trying to be transparent and share what I struggle with in my prayer life. Do you feel happy now that you got the chance to berate me?
