I'm sorry to hear that
It's only natural to believe what everyone is telling you. Learning to question things fundamentally takes courage and not everyone is up to the task. Anyone who has broken free should be proud, regardless of how long it took.
I want to know what real difference there is between talking to Jesus and talking to yourself. Getting a bunch of fuzzy feelings can easily be explained by the idea that you simply believe you're talking to Jesus. Retrofitting later events to earlier "conversations" is just kidding yourself, but the human brain is extremely vulnerable to confirmation bias.
