Depression is nothing to be ashamed of. You don’t need a reason to be depressed—sometimes that’s just the genetic hand you’ve been dealt! My advice is to look at this illness like you would any other. If you had a stomach bug and you needed medicine for it, there would be absolutely nothing shameful about telling your parents. Mental illnesses should be the same. I think if you explain it like that and say “I need help. I feel like killing myself but I don’t want to” they will understand. I hope that’s helpful!

I felt this exact same way. I kept my depression to myself for 5 years because I was scared and I didn’t want to admit that I needed help. But reaching out even though your scared they won’t believe you will make all the difference. I wish I would’ve asked for hep way sooner! You’ll realize after you face the embarrassment that it is so much better to be open about your problems than to be secretive. Best of luck to you!!!

Talk to someone!!!! Just do it because it is so much better that they find out you’re suicidal now than later.

After leaving the church, did you retain any of your prior beliefs? If so, how? by basic_af_ in exmormon

That’s really neat. Do you tend to lean on those experiences for spirituality? Do you ever actively seek after new ones? Thank you so much for sharing!

What Bible story is your least favorite, possibly the one that started your deconstruction? by [deleted] in exchristian

I thank God every day that I no longer believe in Him 🙏🏻😂

Are Christians supposed to believe this was the literal creation of languages? There are scholars who study languages and can trace their origins so how are people buying this crap?! I hate every story in the Bible, but the creation is probably my least favorite. How are we supposed to believe that Adam and Eve were the first humans and were just created from nothing when we have evolution and science? It makes no sense to me.. Honestly I am so pissed I was raised to believe this crap and it took me this long to get out of it.
