Trigger warning.
I M21 suffered from self harm for 3-4 years while in the organization and the further I get on my deconstruction journey the more impossible it becomes to deny the orgs hand in my suffering. I was born-in but my depression and anxiety didn’t become serious until after high school and didn’t become extreme until late 2023. At that point the symptoms were no longer invisible or concealable. I had lost a significant amount of weight in addition to being naturally skinny, could not eat normally, I had a physical hip/back injury that wouldn’t heal, and my insomnia worsened beyond all help. I was also making the deepest cuts ever and on the path to needing stitches.
I went to the elders for help multiple times but was shitted on in return (another long story for later, just trust me on that one). I told 4 elders in total that I was cutting myself and none had much to say in response except one well meaning elder who horrified me with the news that many in the hall are on antidepressants and told me I shouldn’t feel guilty if I choose to get on them because it’s a personal choice and not a sin. That moment has stuck with me. Just like how when I was visibly unwell, few people had any concern over me as a person or my actual health. Most only had concern over my spirituality and spiritual health. They commented on how I was showing up late and leaving early for meetings, how I stopped commenting all together, and spent all my time with my worldly friends (who were my only lifeline and were trying to help me get well). Even the one sister my mother’s age who I did have a relationship with and who really did care about me made it clear that she was only willing to go so far and I could tell how difficult it was for her PIMI conscience to allow me to condemn the elders actions and question the org in conversation to her.
I still think of her fondly, but she’s proof that saying the org separates people from their humanity is an understatement, because she is a good person who has been so indoctrinated she was incapable of offering unrestricted sympathy or unconditional support. Anyway, I was clean for the early part of 2023, but had my final relapse in April as a result of an awful night being overwhelmed by the guilt and confusion of my deconstruction alongside the unbearable weight of everything pointing towards the org being false. I had been a devout whole-minded believer for 20 years, so feeling my entire world and all my life’s decisions unravel was very intense. But the good thing is that “growing feels like breaking at first” as a high school teacher taught me. After that relapse many things became clear, but nothing more than the ways the org has harmed me and others. It took a lot, but I was finally ready to confront the truth about the truth and begin healing from the religious trauma I was so desperate to convince myself didn’t exist. My body had been telling me to save myself and leave for ages, but my mind refused to do so. Afterall, when our minds are separated from our bodies via fear, strict behavioral conformity, sexual repression, and so much more – that God given connection between our instincts and our gut is broken. But now I’m proud to say that I am in the thick of healing.
Healing is possible once you can see the lies and the truth. And once you can see that you can see the door to exit, and once you see that you can see so many other things.
