  if i had written this a year ago, i would be writting different comments about my observations.. yet, that is the pivotal point for me.

  that is the reason why i could never have remained a jw.

  my point?

  Don't be something you don't want to be.

  I love this!! If I can ever learn to live by it I'll be okay. I"m going to staple it to my forehead.

  i can only think of one person who actually seemed to have "joy in her heart "on the min when i studied , and even the dubs used to hate being put with this person, it all seems so obvious now that it has nothing to do with a love for god , but doing whats expected of you

  For about two years when I was trying to find meaning in life, I totally immersed myself in field service and meetings. I'd actually cry if I missed a meeting. I realize now I was just using it as a crutch, to belong to something, to feel like I had the answers. I'm disgusted at how self righteous I felt. YUCK.

  so it hadn't escaped my attention that two weeks ago i was melting faster than a snowman on a lava flow path.. i had to do something.

  i ended up in hospital.

  i hoped this would mean i'd get help, not just medication, which i've tried for 6 months and hasn't really helped.

  Brillant post! I've no experience with EDMR, sorry, but I wanted to tell you that your description of the high's and lows of bipolar were right on that I held my breath while reading. I've suffered so much from this disease and it was amazing to see it described so exactly. Just no that you aren't the only one, if that's comforting at all. I'm always available by PM if you need someone to talk to.

  I haven't, I was always guilty, but that is so wrong! My mom was wrongly disfellowshipped for apostasy because she started partaking. They had no evidence at all of her being an apostate except that she was exceptionally annoying.

  oh how happy i am to be home, i never ever thought i would make it in.

  it started off nice enough, i was supposed to have a pre-valentine day salsa party night with some friends.

  i was a bit excited, but i kept checking the weather and it was a little shaky.

  Not my story but my sisters. She was working the late shift at K-Mart. It was her job to restock some shelves in the back before closing, she was always such a hard worker, immersing herself in it, she didnt' notice that the store closed with everyone in it gone. I got off work and went to pick her up, but she wasn't out front waiting, the front of the store is dark and I panic thinking she's been kidnapped. There was one other person in the store, a guy that did the floors would get locked in till morning, problem was he didn't speak English, so he was no help. Her and I ended communicating by pay phone and got the manager out of bed to come unlock the store so she could get out. He was NOT happy.
