It took me 3 years with a good CBT therapist. The horrors with respect to self image and guilt related to sex and other areas were overwhelming. Thank God I'm free! For those who aren't supporting their delusions, how long did it take you?

No therapy thus far. Wow, what did "they" do to you?

I was raised in a Christian household and abused sexually and emotionally for years by some family members. I suffered from depression for many years and the constant anxiety and fear was, I believe, what eventually caused me to have cancer. I was treated for mental health problems frequently and had CBT Therapy several times. When I stopped being a Christian I learned self respect and how to take responsibility for my own life. I remain unwell physically, but mentally and spiritually I have peace. I am the Eternal Spirit I was created to be. I am not judged. It took me 45 + years to untangle the terrors of religion in my life.

I have been doubting this whole year in regards to Christianity. A little more than a week ago I have come to the conclusion that I just don't believe it anymore. I grew up in a Christian home, and am still living there - I'm in high school. I sure hope I won't have to go to therapy, I don't think it was that traumatic, more annoying.

Well I was raised Catholic. About a year ago I felt like I didnt really "belong" in the christian community. I dont know why, but I never believed that Jesus was the messiah. I`m not going to get into why I didnt believe that, because I dont want to offend anybody. The Jewish religion just always appealed to me, I have always agreed with their beliefs.
So I have decided that I`m converting to Judaism, which unfortunately doesnt please many people when I tell them. I just figured that if all Jews go to hell, I would much rather be in hell with all the Jews than in heaven with the Christians who mocked me about being Jewish.

from age 10 to becoming free at 21
i have been in therapy in and out for about 6 years
one day i thought to myself
if jesus was a jew
and jesus was speaking what the jews teach
then why do christians ignore the teaching of Judaism, but this in turn would be not following Jesus

7 years of official therapy.... During which I studied many religions, as well as considered not having one at all, now I am Jewish. (and like Violinist92, not too many people where happy for me, some even had plenty of nasty things to say, my best friend stopped being my friend... go figure)

Humans they're sooooooooo impreshionable, DIDyou learn to be nice? and don't be like your enemy? enama enemy HM?
Respectively, i found relatives[mad sisters,vulnerable brothers,harried parents, oponionted teachers] plus or religion is EVERYWHERE, needed learning = live and let live, with discernment. And don't be YOUR own enemy, BE YOUR OWN FRIEND. Holy SPIRIT In us says . Otherwise i reject , ignorance , sarcasm , doesn't MATTER where it's from.
HOPE those words help more. HOPE you're feeling better.
Jesus was treated disrespectful,dishonored, apparantly the worst somebody's treated on earth, the beter their treasure in Heaven is.

I got over it pretty fast after I figured it out and admitted it to myself. I fortunately figured it out pretty young, so I had a leg up on it.
