Why doesn' mom want to help me?

I told my mom that I felt alone, empty, that I felt like I was just a body without a soul, with a mask covering reality, and she just said, "Oh my God! Do you know how I feel as a mom hearing that? Just pray to God and everything will be okay." Is praying to God really the solution to the emptiness and agony I feel for being a bad person to those who love me?

Tell your mom thats the same as praying about a broken arm instead of going to the hospital
