[Serious] Are you in therapy?

[Angrboda]

Are you in therapy? Have you been in therapy before? Has it helped you at all? 

I've been thinking about it more and more in regards to my deconversion. It's only been a little over a year since I became atheist but I have a hard time with getting emotional in regards to certain concepts and ideas. I have a lot of bitterness towards religious people and ideas but it's all heavily tied to reactions to what happened to me. I don't know. I don't know if it's something I just need to wait to get over, like time and distance will calm me down. Or if I can't move on because I'm just not processing it on my own very well. These atheist communities are great and all but I'm not sure it's the best place to deal with my religious trauma.

You might also want to look into groups for former fundies. Even if you weren't a fundy, I'm sure they'd welcome you in. I've thought about going and I haven't been a believer since childhood. And I was never a fundy.
