  since you've learned the truth about the "truth", do you feel emotionally, mentally and spiritually stronger?

  I am free at last. It is like when you get a divorce and you have alot of freedom and sometimes you can go overboard then you find a happy medium. Been there done that. I was associated for 32 years and was depressed most of the time. This is not the way god wants me to feel is it? I just joined the ex-jw group and I am happy about this. I have worked in the mental health field for years and know for a fact that support groups can save lives, it does not mean a person is weak either . I believe in my heart god has answered my prayers now that I have found all of you that are truly sincere. Thanks

  how many out here know a loved one or know of someone who suffers from depression and it is from being in the borg and never feel you are doing enough.

  my ex wife would always lapse into a few month state of depression right after a visit from the c/o and getting pounded on about f/s hours or not enough studies or not enough pioneers yadda yadda yadda.

  i know with my ex that the constant fear of armageddon and feeling inadequate was a depression trigger ready to be pulled at any instant.

  I never knew what depression was until I studied with the witnesses and ever since for years. I thought I was doomed because everytime I would attend meetings I knew I could not live up to their expectations, I turned to alcohol for awhile and then found out about antidepressants, now I am finally realizing it was not me it was them.. What a relief to know their is life after jw's.
