"Did you not in your discontentment make supplication to the great void, and to the darkness, to bring forth the mighty storm that lays waste to all that stales and stagnates? Did you not climb the treacherous mountain to witness the melting of snow? Do not peals of blinding light illuminate your face? Does not the cacophony of booming thunders and roaring oceans give you your name? How is it you hold tight to summers past and fields of stone? Did you not cry out to embrace the shock of the New?" -Snarling Raven

raven, fold that umbrella*, lay down and enjoy the rain, hail. WT is like that umbrella, an illusion of protection, and temporary comfort. enjoy the brisk dowsing, the fresh air, warmth will follow.
* in that open plain, that umbrella is -an attractor of strikes from above, THOR's hammer-. fold it, just as wt is folding into the org.

It's DepaKote, and I'm a writer, not ex-JW in a tinfoil hat. I drink green veggie juice and read lots of books. I'm drug and alcohol-free, and if the use of metaphor and the hint of emotion envokes the idea of mental illness in you, well . . . :) since I am not a mental health professional, I tend to avoid diagnosing another human being's mental and emotional states based on a couple lines of prose :P
This piece of writing is a bit dramatic and poetic, but it's about the pain of going through change. If being stuck in the organization has caused anyone emotional pain, fear, doubt, and a longing for change and the courage to create change by deciding to do what it takes to move forward, taking that first step can seem very much facing catastrophic forces.

Well I quite like it.
Change is hard. It's like jumping into a cold lake on a hot summer day, it's a shock, it feels very uncomfortable at first, and you wish you hadn't, but pretty soon it gets easier and then it's wonderful.

It's DepaKote.....
You should probably let the manufacturer know they are messing up on their spelling of the name of their drug.
I sincerely hope you are able to move forward.
Best regards and best wishes to you,
