this ain't really an answer but I'm in the same position as you, i feel spiritually drained and bored with my faith, I'm sick of being told what what to do by everyone, every time i do something everyone feels disappointed in me.
its hard to get back up when people keep kicking dirt in your face! ie family members and so called friends but your hear to live your life, you'll make mistakes but who cares?!
we both need to have a bit more self respect and go for a faith lift!
sorry to ramble but hope it helps you to know you're not alone xxx

You may be at the most vunerable time in your life.
Its well known that you are more likely to be drawn into the false hood of religion when you are most susceptible and impressionable (when depressed !).
Fight the good fight, keep your standards high and continue to walk straight and true. Ive been stuffed many times also, but luckily I have never had the misfortune of being brainwashed to follow something that doesnt exist.
You are not a bad person. Its just that there is no God/afterlife etc. All there is around you is all there is !.

First, you have to really figure out what you consider the straight and narrow. Instead of accepting what some religion or other spoon-feeds you, try thinking for yourself. Realize that most people are more similar than they are different, but they are all human. Realize that not everything is always bad all the time, and there are circumstances that make it more or less bad.
Then just try to live true to yourself, and don't beat yourself up too much for not meeting your expectations. Remember that your character is important. It's how other people see you. When you do something wrong, therefore, try to make amends. People will respect you for it.

are drugs/alchlchol a part of the equation? cna you say you are addicted to anything, not drugs pre sae but stipping, sex, porn exc.? whatever you need besides the essentails drop because you probly do not really need them. If none of that sounds helpfull, do you have legal ....problems? if so take care of those first and formost, alos God alaways helps. Or maybe it's just luck in whichcase all luck good or bad has to come an end, hang in there, work hard and maybe get some schooling.

No you are not. Have you trusted Jesus Christ as your personal Savior and Lord. He will bring all bad things around for His good if you are His child. I am not saying that bad things won't happen, because they will. But in time you will see that things will work together for good for those who love the Lord and who are called according to His purpose. Keep praying, keep the faith, keep believing - God will do an amazing work - don't give up. Remember the Christian walk is a marathon - not a sprint. Blessings to you and I will be praying for you.

i dont no what type of person u r but what i can say is that life throws alots at u but it never throws more than u can handle because if something bad happens dont sit and wonder about it do something about it make that negative into a positive thats what all great & famous people do...
i believe in God and i've been through so much its unbelieveable but at the end of it i can always see why that thing happened the positives that came out of it which u cant always see at the time.....Have faith its the one thing no one can take from u!!

The straight & narrow isn't an easy path to follow but worth it so get back on and start toddling again. Good Luck.

Try reading Job. Whenever I take a big setback, I always allow myself to feel miserable for a little bit and then get on with things, reasoning that whenever something's gone Pete Tong in the past, it's always worked out for the best eventually. We just can't see the future.
I always think that these tests make us bigger and better people as a result, but it may be worth examining your actions, just to be sure that you're not repeatedly making foolish life choices. Hang in there, kid.

sounds like you are haveing somehard times, I am sorry to hear that. I doubt you are a bad person. Since I don't know you can't say for sure. But I doubt it. No one does anything to deserve things being taken away from them.
