    I remember 1975 very well. I remember getting into an argument with an elder, at age 12, because he was convinced October 1975 was going to be it and I knew it wasn't. My mother used to tell me I wouldn't graduate high school

    Well here I am 35 years later. You had to live through the whole buildup to '75 to know how important it was.

    Look I left the Witnesses in 1989, but it took me 9 years before I gave myself permission to let go of the guilt and move on. It was really hard for a lot of reasons but eventually I reached a point where I believed in myself and moved on.

    It's perfectly normal and natural for you to feel out control. Just give yourself a break and do what you need to do to take care of yourself.

    Be well,

    Chris
