I'm in a pretty dark place...

by OneDayillBeFree in

i know many of you have felt this way but it still hurts.. i was doing fine, great actually but then all of the sudden a huge wave of pain hit my body out of the blue.

man its so hard living this life, always pretending, except when you're alone.

i feel like its eating me from the inside.. so many times i want to just give up, on both sides.

OneDayIllBeFree - please don't give up. Most of here have been where you are now but it does get easier. It's hard coming out of the matrix, but you need to focus on making more friends on the outside and pursuing things that you love or have always wanted to try. Even 10+ years later, I lie to my family members. They know I don't go to meetings anymore but it doesn't stop them from trying to save me. Sometimes I just want to totally let them know that I am "apostate" so that they will forever leave me alone.

OMG, ohiocowboy...I had no idea you went through that back then. I wish we both knew then what we know now, I would have totally taken you in. It makes me so sad that you went through so much sadness at such a young age. I use to have so much respect for your parents, I loved them like family but after I heard about the way they treated you, I lost all of that. I blame it on the cult. If they had not been in it, maybe your life would have turned out differently. But hopefully, you are happy now. We need to catch up. Are you still in Dallas? Going to be there in February. I'll email you.

As An EXJW Does Christmas Mean Anything To You?

i've been thinking how correct the witnesses are regarding an aspect of xmas.

it is totally commercialized and it's big business and materialism.

having said that, i enjoy giving presents and recieving them.

Born into the JW's-been out about 10 years. This is the first year that I have had a tree. My husband says that he's not comfortable with it and doesn't want to do a tree next year. I can take it or leave it. We only did it this year for the grandson.
