Mental health for non-believers.

I've been dealing with depression since 2nd grade. I'm now 34. Two suicide attempts. I've constantly been told God has a higher purpose for me and that He wouldn't put me through anything I couldn't handle from family and actual therapists. Feels so condescending.

The need to believe in a Higher Power has consistently been stressed to me. I don't know what that means for an atheist. I go to group meetings and I feel even more isolated. Group feels like high school again.

I don't really know what my point is but I'm just so frustrated and needed to vent.
