Ironically there are a lot of ptsd support offer for those leaving the lgbtq community inside and outside the church.
I also know Mormons and Scientologists also have a large support system for people leaving them.
Suppressing yourself is not "leaving" anything. It is an unhealthy denial and is harmful. And old book of mythology does not constitute our modern scientific understanding of human behavior or sexual behavior for that matter.
You know a lot of religious people using shame and fear and control, that is not help, that is metal abuse.
