  I went through a period of intense turmoil and stress when I left the borg. I was only in for about 12 years, so I think what a person goes through trying to get out when they were born in must be very hard. I think therapy could be helpful.

  That is so hard to deal with. When we were first exiting the borg I was really freaked out whenever I would get a phone call or see one of the local dubs around town. I've gotten over it for the most part, but I remember the panicky feeling and not knowing what to say or how to respond.

  My Wife's Father Passed Away

  well, the day finally arrived.

  everyone says we were expecting it...but, not really.

  my wife's dad passed away.. he suffered for many years and we were at odds about medications and intrusiveness, but he was just a man in great pain, desperate for relief.

  Oubliette is a pretty word for a horrible place. I hope you can break free from your dungeon. Please tell us more about yourself - you are not no one and you are not alone.

  leaving the org was not a doctrinal choice for me as it was for many on this board.

  i left mentally because of the boredom and then i physically left by being dfd.

  i have been reading here for about a month or so and now i know i made the right decision.

  Welcome! It's great that you are getting out. Just Ron and I wasted the entire decade of our 30s in the Borg.
