Some big changes as of late...

Quote:I found that despite all my praying and "spiritual warfare" and worshiping, God wasn't coming to help me and I was by myself.


This is one of the things that really disgusts me about Theism.  It causes people to trust in a god who just isn't there.  When the help that they prayed for doesn't come, they can't reconcile in their own minds why their god has deserted them.  I've seen the anxiety and mental anguish this causes in my my own family.    

Glad to have you on the forum...

Welcome, and thanks for the intro! Always appreciated. Very interesting path to enlightenment. 

You are not alone. Hope we can be of worth to you.

Welcome.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.

Hi and welcome! Smile

I have a 10 year old too. And you're not late to the party - I dropped religion in my 30s as well. Smile

HIyas -- don't worry about embarrassment. In many things in life, some of us come to late realizations. All that means is that we're still capable of growing.

Welcome to the forums.

Congratulations on making it out and welcome to the forums. I wonder what part the unescapable cognitive dissonance of fundy religion contributed to your mental health issues? Regardless now that you're out you can treat your condition as you would any other without wondering how you may have offended god or any of that nonsense. Happy for you.
