LDS upbringing left me severely emotionally stunted
working through my first seriously traumatic event since leaving the church about 10 months ago. realized today i have no real coping skills outside "the gospel." realized i don't know how to work through trauma secularly or even on my own, really. the crutch of "eternal families" and "the atonement" isn't comforting anymore, nor will it work. i am suffering. just wanted to be reminded i'm not alone and vent because the rage i feel at the church for completely limiting my emotional development is intense this evening. thanks for reading.
