Jacked ..... you were tangled up in a religion that took away your own freedom of speech and freedom to think for yourself. There's little wonder the after effects linger in your psyche ... as they do with many of us in here. If you are experiencing ongoing depression though ... you really do need to get some professional medical help, as often depression is an imbalance of chemicals in the brain ... regardless of what triggered it off. Talking about how you're feeling be it to someone you can physically see or someone you can 'see' online ... is also a great way to rid yourself of the angst too. Just know that you're not alone in feeling duped by the religion.

"You can only be yourself ...
don't try to be someone else"
