I saw dead people
by thecrushed init has been a year now since the big breakdown in which i lost my belief system and almost lost my marriage too.
i now look back and realize how close i came to completely losing my mind.
all the evidence proves to me beyond a shadow of any possible doubt that i have been raised in a cult and that every single decision or indecision has been directly influenced from this fanatical belief system.

I got the dreaded call about the memorial
by thecrushed ini haven't been to the meetings in just about a full year and i get a call this morning from my dad inviting me.
his words were full of guilt trip.
he said he would like us to go as a family like i'm breaking it up if i don't go.

My cat is a microcosmic allagoric example of the struggle of leaving the cults
by thecrushed inhere is a little story for you.
i have a cat that has always been a little feral and doesn't get along with the other cats socially.
one of my cats decided he was going to bully this poor guy and worry him sick.

Atheists and selfless potential
by thecrushed insomething has just occured to me this morning while taking a shower.
i think it might be pretty obvious to others but for some reason it just hit me today suddenly.
religion for many is just a donkey and a carrot.

Company Christmas Party experience
by thecrushed inso i went to my employer's christmas party recently.
for the first time i felt completely at ease with normal people.
i'm blessed to have an employer who understands my situation and is also a sceptic like me raised in a very devoit rcc imigrant family.

Reddit thread: I just turned 21, and Im close to committing suicide
by thecrushed ini saw this thread this morning and i can't get it out of my head.
it reminds me so much of my own feelings of hopelessness at that age.
i did the stupid thing and turned to doing copious amounts of drugs and never dealt with the problem only to be sucked back into the cult later at my lowest point of drug addiction.
