    Hey @ellie2000. Thank you for reaching out to us.

    No one has the right to tell you what/who to turn to, especially not if you should be religious or not or what religion(s) you should believe in.

    It is completely up to you what religion is best to go with (if any!). What makes you feel happy and manage everything? <3

    Hey @ellie2000 honestly I don't think that's a grooming tactic but I do think it's 100% your choice whether you want to be religious or not. It can be great to have intellectual and philosophical conversations involving religion but if someone told you specifically to turn to god that's a bit odd. They may just be quite religious and be trying to help you. If you genuinely see turning to god as an option then that's great but don't consider it just because someone else told you to.

    I also completely understand the empty void feeling but you have to try to slowly add things to your life which make you happy. Sometimes that's difficult but even things that just make you feel a little less empty. Bring those things and people into your life as much as you can and think about if there's anything particular that specifically bring up those negative emotions. No matter how small it may be, maybe taking a note of things that cause your mood to dip may help. I hope that makes sense, I'm here if you wanna talk more :)

    @ellie2000 Once you've identified what the issues are then it's gonna be easier to try and get rid of them. For example when I realised my mood would dip around my ex best friend I began to realise that our friendship was really toxic and that I'd be much happier without her. Hope that makes sense :)
