Welcome Elbear, sorry to hear of your mental turmoil, however I really think that now you are starting to take control of your life and making a decision about what is right and wrong for you, you will find that it gets easier. Be true to yourself, and love life.

slavenomore
by Slavenomore inleaving 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 am miserable...am I crazy?
by Cagefighter inas a born in jw my outlet was always music.
my parents let me do piano lessons (from another sister) and when i was 14 i lobbied hard enough for a guitar.
i formed a decent punk/emo type in high school behind my parents back.

See the job as a vehicle to achieve what you want to do personally. Get yourself that nice guitar, you are still young and have lot of life ahead of you. If you can get the business to a level where it gives you an income with little effort it'll give you more time to enjoy life. Don't go back to the drugs though!

Dear Spirituk and the likeminded (read if you have time),
by okage inso i started going to church with her, and bible studies at her home.
in hindsight.... i found out that she made these moves a few days later when i showed up to her family's house for the study.
i stopped going to our church.

Superbly put free2beme, sadly most elders won't have a clue how beautiful that paragraph is. If I were to write one it'll be simple, "I no longer want to be known as or have any association with JWs"
