Afrikanman--
Your experience is eerily like my own. It all culminated about 3 years ago. I resigned as an elder about 5 years ago. Been a dub 53 years an elder off and on for 20 years. Tried to commit suicide and spent 3 week in a psych ward. No longer on meds and have found true peace in the real world. Still trying to get my loving wife out and my 4 terrific children are just hanging in there but not doing much.
Yes leading an unnatural life with an unnatural view of life definitely led me to the point of desperation. I'm 99% faded an go once in a while for my wife's sake. No fs for 3 years now and no shepherding calls yet.
You will recover and be a better person once you do. Peace and happiness be with you my brother.
Just sayin'
