I am a firm believer in researching the roots of Christian apocalyptism. Leolaia has done a bang up job tracing the doctrine's evolution from Hellenized Jewish apocraphal writings. Many cultures have had some such teaching however the essential notions of a new age cleansed by fire were adopted thru contact with the Persians. Zoroastrianism was probably the greatest influence upon the development of Yahwehism. Even the idea of a millennium appears to have crept into prechristian Jewish thought from this source. IOW the more you learn the less there is to fear.
Still scared!!

It's called floating. There are articles about it. Books on it from AFF too. It's normal and it needs to be taken seriously. More than a few return to their groups after an episode. It lessens with time and eventually quits. Don't ignore it.
