  Thoughts about Depression and Anxiety

  by flower in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  this is mostly directed to others that were born/raised in the cult.

  more specifically those raised in the cult who also suffered from severe depression and/or social anxiety disorder or any other mental illness (other than the normal probs that come with being in the borg).

  sometimes i wonder if its just me that doesnt feel like a person now.

  flower,

  Some of the symptoms you have mentioned are the same symptoms that children of alcoholics experience. Some people go to the Adult Children of Alcoholic program because they have similar family issues. It's called ACOA. Religiosity can be an addiction and have the same effects on children as alcoholism. They have meetings that are free and you may make some good friends locally.

  I would recommend a book by John Bradshaw "Family: the Revolutionary Way to Self Discovery” I have no doubt that you will see yourself in there as I saw myself. He does discuss addiction to religon in this book.

  A big "thank you" to everyone here

  in the past i have sometimes felt like i have to be the 'bad guy', so to speak, because i need to lock or delete topics, deactivate people, try and stop fights and such like - basically, telling people off and not being 'nice'.. well, apart from the odd heated debate and harsh word (and disruptive 'visit') i have not really had a great deal to do for the past month or two and it has been very nice - a pleasure to serve.. so ... i thought i should say a 'thank you' instead of a "stop it!

  " for once

  Valis,
  

  You ask yourself why she would do that to you? Who's feelings are more important? Yours? Her "friends"? What self respecting dude would tolerate that crap? Where is her respect for you, or is that all dependent on whether or not you are in the borg?

  
  He did say that she just asked him to leave for one evening. Do I think she is wrong to expect this? Yes! But it's part of communicating ones needs to their mate. She says she needs this and he can compromise or not. It seems that Cyngus loves his wife and wants to work things out to remain peaceful. I guess...

  I imagine she might have to leave when his friends come. Note my comment above..LOL

  Lisa, You forget who he is friends with..I don't think exposing her to Hyghlandyr will help him...LMAO Well maybe you didn't know that they are very close...

  You need to expose her to worldly people that are your friends. Let her see they are not all demonized perverts like the WBTS says they are.

  Cyngus,

  Expat is right they will never reinstate you with conditions and you would have to be a pretty good actor to convince them of YOUR repentance.

  LOL @ Lilacs I bet you would ...hahahah

  although your mentor chuck russell proclaimed that jehovah god lived on a "planet" (hahahahahahaha!

  ), namely pleiades, modern astro-physics has shown he was quite insane.

  just lie down on consecutive clear nights and watch the heavens.

  Farkel, Don't you think that lurking dubs may hear you better if you left that language out?

  Are you serious? Are you going to ask them if you can still do your little web cam show as one of the conditions?

  I think your friend Hygh has taken a vow of silence...so we hope!

  Sorry if you are serious...but it is hard to believe since you said you are your own god etc...and starting your own cult.
