Reading (and crying) while reading an article from 2011 about “Religious Trauma Syndrome.” I started deconstructing and formally left Catholicism in 2022. It starts with learning and education.

But now comes the emotional part. I feel lonely and like a kid because I don’t have the coping skills to deal with big emotions like fear.

Today’s #MentalHealth morning practices include:
- 20 minutes of #somatic #yoga
- #Vegan breakfast of banana, orange, oatmeal, everything bagel and avocado and decaf Earl Grey tea.
- Journaling

Trying to process past #trauma while living in this insane timeline is difficult, but we just have to take it one day at a time, moment by moment. Remember: It’s OK to not be OK.

What’s your favorite #CopingMechanism?

Biggest question of intensively studying the Bible for years as a believer, only to become a non-believer later in life, is what do I do with all this knowledge?

Growing up Catholic with evangelicals in my family, I knew the animosity the latter held for the former.

They seemed to like the then Pope for his anti communist bonafides.

Now that one they don’t like dies, you can see the animosity the right wing evangelicals have for them.

True story..the lady with the "merch" is known to Catholics as St. Veronica..she was my Confirmation saint.
I was always really good at sales.😂
I'm aware I'm going to hell. That's fine. It's only applicable to people that believe in it.

Growing up #catholic I had to spend the day eating hot cross buns, sitting through a seemingly endless, depressing Mass (inevitably by someone wearing stinky aftershave or perfume), and being given a huge guilt trip if I chose to do anything else. My mom was liberal about pretty much everything and not strictly religious..but she was oddly strict about #goodfriday

Here's to heathenism and being able to do whatever I want today! lol
