Oh Lord, Lord .... the stories I know
@Scarred for life .... amazing how stories are repeated everywhere in the world, the ones I know ended up in the streets, jails, and I am talking about girls, some boys turned gay, well perhaps they just accepted their sexuality but not before creating terrible chaos in their lives ...
I finally began to make my exit mentally at 16.
JW stress caused me to try to kill myself many times.
I attempted suicide many times as a JW. When I was finding out the truth about them I lost nights of sleep which led to a breakdown my husband had me hospitalized for.

I join the very large group of xjws who are among the walking wounded.
I've had some terrible moments myself. Mostly because I forced myself to deal with other people and things in a very unorthodox manner, and just to put up with crap. It went very against my grain and when things fell apsrt I knew who to blame. Yet I would do it again. Took some time to begin relating to day to day issues like I did before I was a JW. Then I could face reality again. The worst one was the realization I could have helped my Father live longer had I thought along the lines of who I really am, rather than the JW way
I am also of the "walking wounded" but I am starting to run sometimes now and I keep my head up. Wounds are healing Six years now and I keep moving forward. Just keep going and we will make it.. This board has helped me so much.. and I am very thinkful I found it six years ago...
