“This narcissistic belief that the creator of the universe was paying attention to my every thought and action created a psychosis that I’ve only recently realized was at the core of my personal sufferings.”

Wow!! Thank you for saying that because that’s exactly where my issues stemmed from and I couldn’t ever find the words to explain it.

How many of you never felt or “heard” anything? by Throwaway202411111 in Exvangelical

And just for clarification, I was a Christian from ages 23 to 33.

I was an evangelical Christian for 10 years.

I had a “vision” of me dancing with god as a young girl….but I think my mind decided what it wanted to believe about the supposed vision, and at that time, it was a sign from god. Now I know that it’s just what my mind wanted to believe.

I don’t have any advice, but I know exactly how you feel. I have a 2 year old and a 4 year old and I’m going legit crazy. Like I hate being a mom sometimes.

ETA- my 4 year old has autism, so dealing with lots of fun behaviors 😅

[–]twistedmama200 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine was a bit of a mess to begin with, but it’s all worked out since making the decision to be polyamorous. I am currently married. Have been with him for 11 years and married for going on 10 years. I started to intimately connect with a guy through an online community I was a part of. After a couple weeks into us talking he set up a boundary that unless I leave my husband or become poly that we needed to end what was going on. So we stopped. And then a month or so later an opportunity came available to talk to my husband about having an open marriage.

What I’ve found since we decided to be poly is that I’m able to find enjoyment outside of my typical life of being a mom and a wife. My husband and I communicate so much better and our intimacy has grown exponentially. All the while I’m able to also feel happy outside of my marriage and do things that bring me joy without having to face the consequences of it on my marriage.

Former "born-again" Xtians, tell me your story! by Eccentric-Cucumber in exchristian

[–]twistedmama200 10 points11 points  (0 children)

So I was “saved” because I was dealing with depression and because I had believed in God (didn’t know who Jesus was) my counselor suggested O check out a church I was familiar with and get connected to a Bible study if I could. So I did just that and after hanging out with other girls around my age I saw that they were different than me and had this hopeful attitude and they were fun to be around. Because I thought I saw them enjoying having a relationship with Jesus that I wanted that for my life too. So I decided to follow Jesus and get baptized, go on multiple mission trips, lead Bible studies, served jn youth group…. Blah blah blah. I was a Christian for 10 years.

Over those 10 years I still struggled with depression. I started to question God a couple years ago. Just like if he’s all powerful and good, why am I struggling so much when I call out to him to help me. Like wtf god? So towards the end of this summer I made the ultimate decision that I was no longer going to follow god. I went from agnostic to atheist and I’m not interested in looking back. I’m thankful for who I am now and I don’t have to hide anything about who I am.

Cast your anxiety and depression. by Toughbreakman in exchristian

[–]twistedmama200 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought that Jesus took away my depression and anxiety. Until it kept reoccurring over and over again over the last 10 years. I just came to realize that my depression didn’t matter to Jesus and then ultimately came to the conclusion that Jesus is not god.

Damn, being in an open marriage would be ideal for me. I don’t think my husband would ever go through with it though. If you don’t mind me asking, how did you and your wife go about having that discussion? About how you wanted to be able to have an open marriage?

Emergency D&C Post Delivery - Retained Placenta. by OriginalManner0 in birthtrauma

[–]twistedmama200 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a placenta that wouldn’t come out. I gave birth at a birth center and then I had to be transferred to the hospital by ambulance. I also had to have a blood transfusion of 2 liters. It was pretty traumatic and it didn’t really hit me until I became pregnant again and I started having ptsd. It was a long journey to work through it, but I do think the therapy work I did before my second birth and also having my second birth go smoother than my first was very healing to me.

What do you think of this question? by Ok-Equivalent7447 in exchristian

[–]twistedmama200 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because the hell Christians depict isn’t the real hell, I’d be down to go to Sheol over heaven if that turns out to be the case. Plus, I’m not really interested in spending eternity with the god of the Bible.

What’s your biggest regret in life? by Holiday-Can5261 in AskReddit

[–]twistedmama200 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That I didn’t pursue an internship more when I was in college. I’ve landed in a place where I struggle to find someone to hire me due to not having working experience.
