Some? ;-0

The inability to form an accurate picture of the world around us is always to some degree or another a mental health problem.

I loved the article. I experienced a really similar thing to the bulimic woman. The more I tried to follow the doctrine the deeper and deeper I wounded my sense of self.

Notice how the religious counselors got together to squash the diagnosis. I will never again go to a religious counselor.

Thanks to a comment I made on my friend's Facebook when she posted that article, my sister in law was able to confide in me that she had mentally left TSCC. I got chills knowing that I could be a support to her as much of her family is still TBM and don't know about us.

Thanks for posting that, wcg.

For me religious guilt and shame were combined with corporal punishment, which created a cocktail of fear and self-loathing. I was told again and again that I was bad and deserved the beatings. I was thrown out of the house at fifteen and spent six months at a boy's ranch.

You'd think I would have recovered by now, but I just woke up in the middle of the night last night in the thrall of a full blown panic attack. I thought about suicide for over an hour as I tried to talk myself down. Luckily, I've just recently seen a doctor, and I'm starting a new medication cycle.

Religious trauma has hurt a lot of people. I'm glad that the problem is getting publicity now.

Now Don, don't scare us like that! Hang in there and get whatEVER new treatment you require. You are VERY SPECIAL and we love you!
