"My religious (christian) parents said I should become religious as well and god would help and heal me."
Try Christianity without the religion. Look at what Jesus said for yourself. He had no use for religion either.
"Well I do not really consider it an option as I don't believe in god and those things."
Well you don't believe in the medical profession either from what you say. And I don't blame you.
And so you can go to a healer that does or change your own ideas about God. But you are running out of options I would say.
There is an old saying, "There are no atheists on the battlefield." It is probably a good time to begin to change your idea of God.
If your parent's idea of God is that He/It is able and willing to heal they are correct. If your idea of God is that He/It can but usually doesn't or
He/It can do only part of the job, "god would help and heal me" then you have to fine tune your ideas about God. That level of belief can be found by
asking anyone passing by on the street.
You sound like you are in the grips of a very serious condition. Burying you in the dirt is not the solution. It was not for that purpose.
Meditation can help with the pain, but to touch with Power you will have to progress in that practice for quite a while to be capable of it.
A simple prayer of faith can bypass and connect you with Power. Try that.
Read some of the healing stories in the New Testament and try "reading between the lines" so to speak.
Pay attention to the details of those stories. There is much hidden there that may help you to understand faith.
Faith is the key to these things. You must change your mind. It is interfering with what you are trying to accomplish.
