[Serious] Are you in therapy?

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.

I never went to a shrink; mainly because I prefer to find the absolute truth and know very well that a shrink is getting payed to tell me a script he studied in college.

I simply have found a code of ethics and sticked to practicing it:

A-Don't kill
B-Don't steal
C-Don't murder your children -including not making women pregnant knowing you can't provide for any resulting child-.
D-Leave people alone to choose their path in life.

If I have a problem in keeping and maintaining this code of ethics; I would ask a shrink for a solution.

Currently I take anti-depressants with my regular meds. Helped me a lot.
