I had a period of absolute insanity after I left. And I've had several bouts of depression since. But it gets better with time. I think it's important to really try and live for today. You can't forget the past, but it's not like you can change it either. I like who I am now, so despite all that I may have lost out on being raised "in the truth" I can't really regret anything. I'm just happy that I'm living now instead of continuing on in a constant state of dismay, depression, and guilt that followed me while I was part of the "flock".

I'm sinking into depression and I can't seem to shake it
by Nellie inyesterday was my birthday - sunday is father's day.
we went out to dinner (my first celebration in over 30 years), my husband gave me a beautiful gift, my kids were great, my sister (who's baptized, but on shaky ground herself) sent me flowers and joined us .
i'm filled with sadness for all the missed years .
