I realize it was a mistake as back then I did really good, read few books and was well on my way to mental freedom. I can't afford therapy. Yes, that's how tormented I currently am. I thought I'd ask one of the atheists forum for encouragement and guidance.
I have no problem embracing atheism, except that I saw somebody I think is Christ and more than once few years back. I don't have any visions or hallucinations. He is the only one I have ever seen while awake. I never heard or seen things that were not there before this creep came along.
I just wish to move on with my life. If there is a god, he can go [blank] himself. I am just exhausted of all this garbage.
Please help me in any way you can.

Hello Orchids, welcome to the forums! I wanted to first say I'm sorry for the turmoil you are going through. Second, seeing as so few (if any) here have experienced anything similar to what you are, it is difficult for us to give helpful advice as this type of thing is very foreign to a lot of us. I noticed in one of your posts you mentioned you were Muslim at one time. Maybe it would be helpful to know that this type of story is not that uncommon to Muslim and Hindu nations. There are scores of stories similar to yours who come from similar backgrounds. I don't have any resources for you to contact others who have experienced similar things, but check out some of these:
