    Thanks to everyone on this board, and thank you Simon for having this board.

    When I first went here, I just wanted to see what people were saying about a religion that had been a big part of my life, and I found support. I had been so upset at myself for letting the religion get to me...for it being something I left physically, but not mentally and emotionally. I wanted to figure out why. I first thought something was wrong with me, but it was hard to discuss these things to people with no experience in the religion...people just seemed to get annoyed with me. Basically, I wanted to talk about it. I knew that was the most healthy thing I could do. I needed to talk about it, why my family does not seem to love me anymore, and why it is so hard for me to make friends, and why I had to make friends all over again. Most people just do not understand that. Coming to this forum, I found people that knew exactly what I was going through and just knowing that, and interacting, has been a great therapy.

    You guys are all kind, understanding, warm hearted people, and I wanted to say thanks. Thanks for making me feel not so alone anymore.

    You're right, jwbot.

    And sometimes even just reading people's story will do a lot of healing. I'm glad you feel better.
