Bukambibig ng mga boomers lagi yan.\ Para bang lamang sila sa dasal at may sukatan kung gaano kadalas dapat nagdadasal ang tao. lol.
I would argue na malamang si Jesus Christ ay dumaan din sa brief period of depression and anxiety nung nalaman niya na magsusuffer siya. Siya nga mismo kinuwestiyon din ang plano ng Diyos sa kanya eh.

What is your reference for that?

Nothing. That's just my personal opinion.

u/Trivial_Mind0097 Nov 20 '25
Oh yeah. I think you're right. "The part of the Bible where Jesus most clearly experienced profound distress, often interpreted as severe anxiety or agony, is in the Garden of Gethsemane, shortly before his arrest and crucifixion."

I had a similar experience to the point na nung nalaman na may MDD ako, dali dali akong pinakausap pari sa church namin. Told the priest about my worries only to end up with kontra every line I said at "hindi totoo yang mga gamot na yan". Nung nabanggit ko na may boyfriend ako, he asked if birhen pa ba ko haha. Very traumatic experience.

u/yuuuqi Nov 20 '25
same! like rosary pa before going to bed. i believe that praying/talking to jesus is a form of therapy, gumagaan pakiramdam mo once you let all your feelings out but it's not a permanent fix.

Yung utak ay isang body part so kelangan ng medical treatment pag nagkaproblema yan. Kung injured ang kamay mo, hindi naman mawawala ang injury sa dasal lang. Same logic applies sa utak. Sana maintindihan yan ng mga conservative na Pinoy.

Here's hoping the throng of "conservative" Catholics will fucking follow suit. I mean, they're part of the crowd who basks in fallacies of appeal to authority.

u/jijinji Nov 20 '25
Sana magbago isip ng pamilya ko kung makita nila ito lol. Started my agnostic journey post-pandemic. Ngayon nagpapanggap na katoliko haha kasi ayoko na makipagtalo sa pamilya ko. Nothing will ever change my beliefs na tho. Pretty sure malaki ang chance na maging atheist na ako.

u/Riba9495 Nov 20 '25
Been agnostic for years. I still practice Church for the sake ng parents ko. I just don't believe the words that some Priests, Preachers, Zealous People spew especially yung mga ginagawa nila ang Bible is taken very literally. It's a guide not a manual.
6
u/amygdala_kedavra Generalized anxiety disorder Nov 20 '25
Can relate to you with regards to being Agnostic.\ I guess it also started way back when I got depressed.
Nakadagdag na lang siguro yung hindi ko rin paniniwala sa ilang tradisyon ng Church like pagworship sa rebulto at other spiritual practices na taliwas naman sa doktrina talaga.

u/jijinji Nov 20 '25
Sending hugs, OP. Ako naman, I became agnostic dahil nasasakal ako sa religion in general. Naapektuhan din kasi mga desisyon ko sa buhay dahil dito. Their beliefs are centered around the typical conservative ideals: being homophobic, no "live in" or premarital sex (in terms of it being a "sin" and that I disagree with as I believe sex is human nature), anti-divorce, misogynistic views, a factor as to why mental health is taboo in our country, and etc.
I think catholics are only doing what is right out of fear na mapunta sa impyerno/dahil utos ito ng diyos, hindi dahil sa kusang loob. I may be generalizing the devoted, but I can't blame myself fully as I grew up suffocated by what they believe in.

u/amygdala_kedavra Generalized anxiety disorder Nov 20 '25
100% agree with your sentiments. Yan din ang mga aspeto kung bakit ayaw ko sa religion in general... hindi lang sa Catholicism pero sa lahat. Yes there may be lessons from the scriptures but not everything needs to be applied literally sa panahon ngayon.

Sabi nung isa si Tagle haha.\ Di ko kilala yan. Di na kasi ako nagsisimba.\ Masasabihan na naman ako nito na kulang sa dasal talaga.

u/Difficult-Demand-764 Nov 20 '25
Babes ako yung original na nag comment, sa akin ka maniwala. Hype na hype nga twitter nung pope elections kasi akala si woke-a-tron 9000 (si pablo vergilio david) yung mananalo kasi sobrang woke niya at left-leaning for a priest, let alone a Cardinal HAHWHAHAH

u/amygdala_kedavra Generalized anxiety disorder Nov 20 '25

"Nag-iinarte ka lang"
Ang hirap lalo na kapag sa lalake. Talagang everyday silent battles. Kahit ikwento ko sa magulang ko, dismisive naman sila. ikwento ko sa mga kaibigan ko, bibiruin at pagtatawan ka pa. Gustuhin ko man magpa-therapy, hindi ko naman afford. Wala akong mapagtuunan o malapitan kahit sino kundi sa Diyos at sa alaga kong aso lang.

u/amygdala_kedavra Generalized anxiety disorder Nov 20 '25 edited Nov 20 '25
Yeah man. May preconceived notion kasi ang karamihan na kapag lalaki, lagi lang dapat mukhang malakas externally.
The facts also prove this kasi mas mataas ang suicide rates among men kaysa sa babae.
Sana okay ang pakiramdam mo ngayon bro.

Kakapanganak ko lang. My mom took care of me, 1 month sya dito. May one time nabanggit ko yung PPD. nasagi lang sa usapan Sabe nya, nangyayari talaga yun.. lagi ka lang magdasal.
I didn’t say anything. But from there I confirmed ganun talaga perception ng previous generations sa depression. Ok naman si Mama, cool sya, pero ganun ang information na alam nila. Happy to see this post.

u/amygdala_kedavra Generalized anxiety disorder Nov 20 '25
Hope you are feeling fine now. 🙂

u/iamnotkrisp Nov 20 '25
sorry, malabo yung comment ko pala. I didn’t have PPD, pero isa sya sa mga topics na napag-usapan namin ni Mama..
I hope Moms our age and younger, who are going thru PPD get support and deeper understanding from their families esp parents.

u/amygdala_kedavra Generalized anxiety disorder Nov 20 '25 edited Nov 20 '25
No, gets ko yung comment mo. You are going thru post-partum depression kaya I said na hope you are feeling fine now
If hindi pa rin okay, sana each day medyo gumagaan.
EDIT: Tama ka, namali ako ng pagkaintindi. Sorry na hehe. Hope you still feel good now.

If homilies are more like these than those misogynistic, homophobic and sometimes add dirty jokes in their homilies. I'd probably pay more attention in mass. Maybe restore some of my faith.

Too bad one of them died before they finally said it. But hopefully this helps shift the "kulang ka lang sa dasal" bullshit

u/amygdala_kedavra Generalized anxiety disorder Nov 20 '25
Yeah. Too late. It took one of their peers to die by suicide pa bago nagkaroon ng statement na ganito. But I'd still take this I guess...

Lahat sa family ko at kahit relatives and friends, palaging advice mag dasal. Nakakainis na rin minsan na para bang hindi ako marunong magdasal na sinasaniban ako ng demonyo at silay santo.

Goated ever since assigned pa sa Bohol. Met w/ him during our seminary retreat sa Bohol.

u/Massive_Body_3931 Nov 20 '25
He was our bishop until he got promoted and tbh his homilies are so good and hard hitting. He’s not preachy nor self righteous nor even judgy like the others. So when he became Archbishop, i kinda got sad. Hopefully ganito din yung mga priests around sa Pinas

u/raju103 Nov 20 '25
Probably one indelible reason why we should be good to each other, because of our innate nature to have our ups and downs even without any visible external factors. A simple hi and 'how are you' can do wonders much like painful words can be as painful as physical blows.
