From people who came through it
“For anyone new to this: I was right where you are in 2023. Back then, left the church I grew up in. I picked up the guitar again.”

owl_green · been through faith crisis and leaving religion“I'm not going to tell you it gets easier right away, because it didn't for me. The first few months I felt like I'd walked out of a party and everyone was still inside having fun. What helped was finding one or two people who didn't need me to explain everything. And taking the train and just watching the city go by. You don't have to have a new belief system ready. You just have to get through the week.”
Silver Otter · been through faith crisis and leaving religion“Eighteen months ago I was exactly where you are. I remember when left the church I grew up in, like it was yesterday. Today I went for a walk and didn't cry once. The bad days get further apart. Praying for you.”
