Having a religion helps? (maybe trigger)

hi there. for this past couple of days, i've been trying to reach out to people, wanting to get help after all this isolation. but again and again, after everything i explained to them, i get the same old reaction, like 'only god can help you' or 'you need to calm yourself down when you feel panic' . i get frustrated with these answers because it doesnt work that way every time i get an episode or a panic attack. after everything that happened, i admit that i have lost faith in god. what i wanna ask to fellow bpders, does having faith in god helps you get through an episode or something?

maybe i should explain a little on how i lost my faith. i was a religious person, on and off, once in a while. but after the big melt down, i went full religious as the pain and the suicidal thoughts were so strong.i prayed all the time, with my heart completely in faith to god that he's gonna hear me and take the pain away. it went on for a while but i still heard nothing, my mental is tortured every single day. that was when i lost it..

so, i would like to hear an opinion or experience from any bpders here regarding faith and bpd.. thank you..

they say faith can move mountains. it depends what you have faith on, it could be the god, the therapist, a friend, a lover, a pet, a plant, this forum or the person you see in the mirror

as long as it helps you in the way, you want to go...it's cool to have faith in it

There was a time in my life when I was highly religious. Honestly, it was probably because of a mix of BPD with a little mania thrown in there. Either way, I did learn a lot even if it's not a part of my life now.

While God, or faith in general can be a big help, that doesn't mean that life is going to be perfect. My previous faith would say that God gives us trials so that we can learn and grow from them to become a more perfected being. Having borderline personality disorder would be one of those trials. Sometimes He loves us so much that he allows us to go through the trials instead of taking them away. An example that was often given in my previous church was allowing a child to go out and play and climb trees even though they most likely would fall and hurt themselves. Of course a parent could protect their child and prevent them from ever going outside and potentially falling down and scraping a knee, but because the parent loves their child, they allow them to go through the pain and learning experience that comes from playing outside.
