I don't mean to intrude or push in any way, but your story sounds familiar and I found Running on empty to be an interesting read, if you ever feel inclined.

Good luck.

It sounds like that those therapy groups suck, honestly.

I've never tried groups, but I found a really amazing therapist so they exist, hope you find one who helps you.

Best of luck out there.

Lemmy.ml tankie censorship problem

I feel like we need to talk about Lemmy's massive tankie censorship problem. A lot of popular lemmy communities are hosted on lemmy.ml. It's been well known for a while that the admins/mods of that instance have, let's say, rather extremist and onesided political views. In short, they're what's colloquially referred to as...

I agree for the most part, and I left the Catholic Church I grew up in for that and many other reasons.

However, isn't Christ's message supposed to be "you shall love your neighbour as yourself"? When it becomes "hurt your neighbour as much as you can" does it make sense to still call it Christianity?

Since it's been that way basically from the beginning though, maybe well meaning Christian people should just step away and start over.

That's like saying medical research is a scam and citing Andrew Wakefield as a prominent exemple

I'm sorry, are you saying that millions of people, including children, all deserve to suffer because their establishment sucks?

We are, to a point.
