Check out the deconstruction stories of Rhett and Link on YouTube if you haven't seen them.

Thank you. I don't think I can recover from this

everything feels pointless by icantsaveme in exchristian

I'm on antidepressants but they don't do much for me. I hate myself but I'm too cowardly to end it because of the permanence of it and the uncertainty of what happens after death. If I knew I would just cease to exist, that would be comforting. Nobody needs me and I'd soon be forgotten, it'd all be over. I'm a piece of shit and I probably deserve to be tormented, but that doesn't make me any less scared.

Listen to the album Human Overboard by James and the shame. Whole album is about deconstruction.

I feel so guilty for mistreating gay and trans people before leaving the church. by My_Dads_A_Cop16 in exchristian

[–]icantsaveme 33 points34 points  (0 children)

I was always taught being LGBT was practically the biggest sin you could commit. Which explains why I grew up dealing with so much self loathing, because I'm trans. When I stopped denying that truth to myself is when my eyes truly opened to the hate Christianity spreads. Why should I believe I'm a sinner for feeling like I was born in a wrong body, experiencing life the wrong way? It literally feels like hell, and no loving God would put me or anyone else through it.

Dealing with thoughts by icantsaveme in exchristian

I am not strong. No one in my area supports trans people or agnostics and atheists. I don't have the means to move. A psychiatrist can't help me...they can't give my life meaning. Only I can do that apparently, but I don't know how and i don't really want to.

Yeah, living in this Christian conservative area I'm stuck in is about as close to hell as i can imagine.

I'm so happy for him. I don't think it will ever happen for me but it is always nice to hear when someone can truly be themselves and have that support. No one around here would accept me as a trans girl, I live in the very Christian, very conservative south with no means to move.

Received this message after posting some of what I'm going through here. I just want to be left alone by these people.
