Is there a quasi emotional support thing for atheists like the religious guys have god

I used to be very hardcore religious as a kid and I remember that whenever I felt sad about something, I would just go and cry in the religious space and pray that the thing got better. And it kind of worked I guess. I assume it is the same with many (or all) religious people as well, they can just go to their place and pray. It is maybe like, they have a hypothetical being, which they believe to be real, who listens to them when they have no one.

I have been going through a rough patch of life myself and have had thoughts of self harm as well but I don't feel like I can share this with anyone I know of. I have heard how a religious friend says they go and pray and then they feel better. At this point, I really want from inside for a god to exist, who can listen to me and maybe provide me with solution or, at least, some comfort.

I might be sounding stupid but it is what it is.
