to the board!!

You must expect to feel slightly lost in 'the world' - as happened to a lot of us here, we not only left the religion behind, we lost all the friends we had ever known at the same time

Also, because the JW religion is not just a matter of attending meetings, but a total lifestyle, we have all felt the keen sense of loss - of something huge missing, and the act of d/f is the final nail in the coffin of your reality:-(

I am so glad that you have been brave enough to post, and tell us how you are feeling, I have been out for 30 years!!! yet it is only in the last couple of years, that I can honestly say I have truly felt the freedom, and let go of all the ties that my upbringing forged!

Give yourself time Amiah, it is still a relatively short time to have been out, and hopefully coming on here and meeting people who truly understand your feelings, and talk the same 'language' will hopefully give you some strength to face the inevitable fall-out

Look forward to getting to know you
Hugs
