If you don't want to try meds again, maybe St.John's Wort or lavender etc? Have you looked into Herbal remedies? Maybe you are stressed about the upcoming wedding.

I predict that active JW's will love it. What they don't realize is that the "world" will be able to see the deep unhappiness that shines from them. We as a group can't change the film, but a publicity swirl from the ex-JW community will do a lot to raise awarness about the negative aspects that JW's have.

Deny this! Brooklyn! I dare you
by stevenyc ini'm to angry right now to write a complete synopsis on the following article from the watchtower.
it regarding child molestation and repressed memories.
i'll put in one quote, and leave this rest for you to read at your leasure.. ps, probably worth copying this because i would be surprised if they will leave it up much longer!.

What if the sufferer decides that he wants to make an accusation? # Then the two elders can advise him that, in line with the principle at Matthew 18:15, he should personally approach the accused about the matter. If the accuser is not emotionally able to do this face-to-face, it can be done by telephone or perhaps by writing a letter.
To further increase the trauma that abused children/people are in, force them to speak/contact their abuser. Elders refused to get involved until I had done so. I refused. I don't remember what happened next, I've blocked it out. I have no memory of what was said or done by the elders because I was so shocked that I was supposed to contact the abuser. Zero memory of that time at all.
What I do remember is all the articles and talks regarding child abuse that came out in 94 and 95. Having to sit thru all that bullshit at the meetings. My best friend and I would sit downstairs and just stare at the walls. No one talked to us.

Demonic exorcism by a JW elder
by out of the box inwe moved into an apartment on the 2nd floor.
we were jws at the time, and the family on the first floor under us was studying.. the girl downstairs started hearing noises during the night and finally hearing steps up to the side of her bed.
she was so scared she hadn't slept in a while and was so tired.

That couple moved to New Hampshire and the elder (a few years later) poured gasoline all over himself and lit the match! His children found him and thought he was a burnt log inside their barn or garage. I never had another episode or experience involving that kind of spirit since.
Not the ending I was expecting! That's horrible.

This is why I post. This is why I type for hours and browse the topics and make phone calls when someone I know is obviously hurting. This is real, it’s as real as it gets. NO ONE deserves to feel alone. Remember the glares and the kind of alone you felt. Then…reach out to one of OUR brothers or sisters, whether on the board saying, “Welcome” to a newbie, or call a friend you found again, and steady them as they, too get to their feet. Even if it’s just a hello, we all know it helps to know you’re not alone. Then you can face The Organization and more importantly the mirror, and know they did not win, they did not take the one thing that makes us all great people.
This is why I post now as well. Beautifully stated as usual.

Children or no Children?
by Sirona inthe jws used to always have discussions about whether to have children "in this system of things".. i used to always think it was pathetic to avoid having kids because of the so-called impending armageddon.. however.
despite the fact that i've always wanted kids, right now i'm not so sure.
just look at the things happening in the world.
