How would you describe yourself since leaving the borg? (page 3)

Hammy,

Honestly, the old guy is slowly coming back, and he's not very nice. Talk about a quandry......................sorry Quandry, I don't mean you.

I have always wanted to help people; now I just channel that into more productive areas.

I had pretty much dealt with my issues by the time I left; that is probably why too. No reason to stay.

I left mentally long before I left physically. I really think I did most of my grieving and anger work before I actually left the KH.

I remember like it was yesterday when I made up my mind that I had had enough and quit going to meetings..... the biggest, hugest, heaviest weight was lifted off my shoulders and I felt such relief and freedom and I still feel free, happy and so much more alive!

When I first posted on JWD you could have sayings for your signature mine was "I'll go back when pigs fly" and this was my first ever avatar on JWD:

LOL I still feel the same way!

Normal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think I tend to be normal now. Not someone who requires a lot of knowledge to be friends with. Someone who is easy going. I am not real open about my Pagan thinking, out of respect for knowing it is not something others accept easy. For the most part though, I think I am just a an easy to get to know and be friends with person. Even if at times, I can be very blunt.

Dear Happier-Now Friends and Hambeak,

I, too, feel happier and relieved. Especially getting over chronic depression related to never measuring up. The WT pubs on mental-health issues never really helped me because the reassurance of Jehovah's love was far outweighed by the strident "DO MORE!" articles and meeting parts. Working out a reverse sort of ministry is my current challenge, but it keeps me occupied daily (and happily so!).

Happy at last,

CoCo

The old Beverly is back. That may be good or it may be bad. I'm definitely happier and much more at ease.

Like a patient who has just woken up from a years-long coma. Like a newly released prisoner after serving a lengthy sentence for a crime he didn't commit. Like a butterfly emerging from its chrysalis.

It's been almost 30 years, but not a day goes by that I don't remember the sensation of freedom from those early days just after I left. It didn't always tickle, but I wouldn't trade even my worst days for the false security of WTS doctrine.
