With everything going on in the world with the Coronavirus, I thought that I'd discuss anxiety around the rapture. When I was preparing for the last post, I asked a few young people… Continue reading Childhood Anxiety of being Left Behind
Constant Anxiety of Going to Hell
I was raised in religious communities. My Mom brought me up to be sorta Jewish and sorta Christian.

Not Being “Pure” Triggered My Mental Health To Spiral
2012-2013 were the worst years of my life so far. I was a freshman in high school. Two of my best friends turned there back on me out of the blue and tormented me.
