I am hoping there are others of you that have the same feelings as my self and can help me to move on from them!
Currently i am in therapy due to different things that have happened in my life (not just to do with the witnesses!!) and i thought it would be good to share my last session with you.
As a jw you are given your goal in life- your point. But when you leave suddenly you have nothing to live for - you have to live for yourself.
I was raised as a jw and at 16 got baptised (yes too young i know!) i loved it, it was my life - what i lived for. whilst associating with different crowds i begun to realize all was not as it seemed! People were leading double lives. I decided to leave at 18 not wanting to be a fellow hypocrit.
Anyway upon leaving due to my good nature and trust in people i got involved with the wrong crowd and they ruled my life for a year, i lost alot of weight i was depressed i could not work, i kept beating my boyfriend up all this went on untill we had enough and dissapeared from the crowd. I then had to learn to not be so trusting with people.
so 7 years on after leaving the truth i am still struggling with one thing.
What is the point of life?
Dont get me wrong i am not really depressed anymore but it does take me all my energy to just get out of bed and go to work go home then go to sleep then do the same the next day.
I have no point and beggining to have no energy to keep doing what i am doing.. i want to be a better person but i have no interest in anything.
I believe in armagedon and i know jehovah will do everything for the best of human kind even if i die. It will be for the best. I feel that is my only certainty in life.
I hope i have not rambled too much!
