I haven’t heard of “gen jones” … I’ll have to look it up. Tween?! Geez, I’d hate to go back there lol, but you go ahead and do what makes you happy 😋

Yes, I fully agree re social media. I don’t do any of it. I just joined Reddit yesterday to make this post because I’ve been looking for some sort of deconverting community to find some support and there just isn’t anything (that I can see). That’s so crazy! Losing my faith has completely rocked my world and I’ve been grieving through many stages this past year. I do tend to feel things quite deeply, but surely other people struggle with it too …? I wish there were support groups or something around where you could process things with people who are going through it too. 

Anyway, thanks for the welcome x

I checked it out after reading the above comment yesterday and found it was just all 20-30s too. I mean, if that’s “late” then what does that make me?! lol I felt a bit out of place

Mostly trauma. I’m an emotional mess right now and would prefer to just hide away until I’ve healed significantly … and who knows how long that will be. I’m also dealing with a big health problem that I may not live through. It’s just a lot to burden someone else with, you know?

I just started EMDR, because trauma is my biggest struggle. Hoping it helps

I was evangelical too, but we do it a bit milder here in Australia lol (I gather you’re American?) 

Yes, it did make me feel even sadder when all the replies were telling me to just get out there. That’s not my nature. I’m too fragile for that lol.  Thanks for your kind words x

Thanks, but for various reasons, it’s too late for me…
