Hi tmg,
I'm maybe one of the original fear, guilt and shame (FGS) Mormon escapees, out before it was cool to go and get your name removed.
You really are smack dab, right in the middle of a pandemic and that timing thing alone deserves at least some possible acknowledgment. The poser dagny above said it well, "Be aware the pandemic is behind a lot of general depression too. Be kind to yourself." So yeah go ahead and be sure to cut yourself a break.
My belief in God maybe changed a little bit after mormo-ism, I think what happened was that I took over control and gave up what the LDS once had taken control of. Wow, does that make any sense at all? I wasn't any longer gonna let some stupid Jo Smith (joseph's myth) country bumpkin dude mess me up any longer.
That's what probably became my purpose, stupid people were not controlling me anymore.
Gosh I hope this helps! Get your nutrition, this whole pandemic has us wanting in that area more than ever. Stay strong.
I was lucky in another way too, Bill Morgan was a guy that was an older man that became a lot like a real grandpa to me and I was wise-ing up fast. He went to a Church called Willow Creek with Jim Defner* and I have no sure memory any of those spellings are right. The only reason I'm mentioning all of this is because that's where it happened. I first let go of everything and anything LDS right there before it was cool to do such a thing. It hasn't been easy but it has been worth it.
I'll lift a prayer for you.
*maybe a link to some fantastic history, heh
