I can remember feeling like that when I first started questioning - don't give up. Let time pass, it does get easier.

Hi youcanhaveago,
Just try and relax for now and enjoy your freedom, all is not lost. Keep digging for truth.
I'm sure you'll find what you need in the end. Plenty of people here can help you.
Best wishes.
youcanhaveago, please hang on. I have been there too, lost and alone, feeling that no one understands me. I've had to go it alone, with family members still going to the Kingdom Hall, knowing that I could not even speak to those who were closest to my heart. In time things will get better, even though at the moment there seems no hope. You need to speak about your fears, there is nothing worse than having no one to confide in; I'm sure there are many of us here who are concerned about you, even though may not even know you.

Take a break whenever you need to... even if you have to force it. Maybe you go out and spend some time with nature, alone or with a calm soul.
For the first time in your life you don't have someone telling you what to do, what to think etc. That can be scary. But think... it can be really exciting too. Now you are in the driver's seat. You can be what you want to be, do what you want to do, even believe what you want to believe. It's all on you now. That's a lot of responsibility, but you will get the hang of it and you will learn to love it. Life is yours to create. So get busy creating.

The way I see it, you have three options:
1) Let someone else pull your boat like the WTS did
2) Let the current take you wherever it likes
3) Grab and oar and start paddling in the direction YOU want to go
