Today, some well-meaning soul told me to just pray my depression away, which would be about as effective as praying away a knife in my shin. FML

I'm religious and even I think people get a bit too crazy about God being the only answer, don't worry OP, there are people out there who will and want to help you!

Didn't you know? Religion solves everything...

I hear your pain OP, I've been told several times that if I pray hard enough my severe depression, anxiety and PTSD will go away. Just use it as a litmus test so to speak to identify the loonie bible bashers from the actual supportive Christians.

I'm atheist but I still pray. It's to reassure myself that there are no gods out there bent on removing this knife from my shin.

People who have never suffered from depression just don't get it. Obviously you cannot pray it away.
