take better care of my health
yikes! 18 months ago

during my Annual Well-Woman exam, dr. told me to have my thyroid/goiter checked immediately. he actually said immediately and cause for concern. I went right over and made the appointment. But it’s with a doctor in the same practice that did my purif exam.

anyway, I get the exam on Tuesday.

maybe I can find someone else.



leave a cult
a bit ago 20 months ago

I was part of a mass transformation religous/philosophical cult. Some say it isn’t. I’m sure they are wrong. get and read “Captive Hearts, Captive Minds” by Tobias if you even think your group might not be as great as it thinks it is.

It was very hard, the leaving. I had almost no friends, no money, and no self-esteem. But now I see how the experience has made me stronger in some ways.

Talking about this is very healing for me, so I am very willing to do everything I can to help you reach your own decision, if you think you might want to leave. Or if you left and need support.

I nearly killed myself, literally, it was so awful trying to learn to think again and understanding what the problem was or where it was coming from.
