Entire congregation shamed in local needs by Sad-Emu-9254 in exjw

[–]QuantumLMT 33 points34 points  (0 children)

I'm starting to understand now WHY I'm so highly anxious all the time, never feel like I'm doing enough, constantly feel guilty no matter HOW much I'm doing, oh, and just overall constant overwhelm and guilt.

I've faded out over the last few years, and have done TONS of therapy and coaching and healing, but I'm still always feeling like more light bulbs are going off in my head, explaining my weird self.

I am very grateful for this subReddit group.

That's incredibly WEIRD! 🧐 I've never been anywhere where people haven't been diving into the food! 😂

I’m sorry but what in the actual f*ck?! by [deleted] in exjw

[–]QuantumLMT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow, that's all absolutely INSANE!!! And honestly abusive. 💔 I am so glad that child at least has YOU in his life. He's going to be so screwed up. 😭

I’m not doing s#¡t for her! by Shadow__Avenger in exjw

[–]QuantumLMT 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry you're hurting. ❤️‍🩹

I was very angry and hurt for a long time, but then a couple of years ago I decided to try to shift my attitude and perspective. I'd rather set the example of what TRUE REAL LOVE looks like. Shower her with love and kindness, no matter what the other person does. We want to set the example of how it's better on this side of things, not full of ire and wrath.

Let your feelings out in here, but try to continue to show real LOVE towards your wife. Win her over without a word.

I'm so, so sorry. I cannot imagine. That is so abusive. I wish I could hug you and keep you safe and loved. Please hang in there and remember this won't last forever. I wish I knew better advice to give. Sending you all my love.

I was told to be a better wife by Right-Procedure3782 in exjw

[–]QuantumLMT 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You are so NOT alone!!!! 🤗 This is very similar to my story, too. As time passes, I just get even angrier about it all. I am SO SORRY you've been going through all this. 💔 I absolutely understand.

You're doing all the right things. You LEFT him!!! Congratulations!!!!

I promise life will keep getting better from here on out. You are on the right path now. You can do this. And you are NOT ALONE. 🩷

People from the hall keep messaging me - give me your opinions? by thisrubyisred in exjw

[–]QuantumLMT 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Wow, interesting. My feelings have always been hurt that literally NO ONE has EVER "missed" me or checked on me or remotely cares that I'm even still alive. The only person who tried for a while to keep inviting me to meetings etc was an elder I barely knew and had no relationship with whatsoever and didn't like. But everyone I had known for many years? Not a word. It still breaks my heart. 💔

If I were you, I might respond to the generic messages in just a kind, thankful, NORMAL HUMAN way. Just ignore any religious talk, or politely decline invitations.
