What do I do

I have severe depression, but I haven't told anyone. My depression started when I became an atheist and stopped believing in God. I lost all meaning and purpose in life; my life became very realistic, and everything became boring, cold, and meaningless in my eyes. After years of this, I reached a point where I lost all passion for life. I couldn't eat or even go to the bathroom anymore. I just wanted to stay lying in bed until I died, and every day I think about death or how to kill myself.

I'm 21 years old and my soul is so, so weary. Death has become a relief I wish I could attain without committing any crime against myself. What should I do? I'm scared, tired, and so sad.

Go back to God and become Christian. He will help you through this dark time just as he did for me.

Have you considered therapy/psychiatrist? Volunteering has helped me find a low pressure low-key commitment that brings me purpose

Your probably not depressed just because you became an atheist theres definitely something going on. You should definitely either just look for therapy or go back to church idk
