[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Priests are NOT therapists. Go to mass, join the community, do volunteering… but don’t talk to the priest about your personal life.[/quote] This. OP, your priest’s response was appropriate from a religious POV. Suicide is a sin because you’re taking a life that is in God’s hand. The priest is there to help you see your life through the eyes of YOUR FAITH. I struggle with depression too and a priest telling me this would not upset me at all. If you want someone to walk through childhood trauma or change poor habits of thinking, go to psychoanalyst or cognitive behavioral therapist. [/quote] +1 This is true. A religious “counselor” is going to “counsel” in the vein of their faith. It’s to be expected. [/quote]
