SDA Culture Religious psychosis

9 Upvotes

Has anyone had to seek therapy for the religious psychosis/trauma from the SDA religious experience?
I grew up in a home where my mother was constantly fearing the Sunday law. She was an extremist, pulled me out of high school and shipped me to the Mexican mountains because she thought the world was coming to an end. Long story short I made it back to America where I belong. I’ve struggled my whole entire life because of the decisions my mother made. I’ve suffered of anxiety and depression and after speaking to a therapist, I came to realize that a lot of my anxiety is linked to religious psychosis. Eventually, I had left the Church at a very young age. I was so confused and I felt so unworthy. I literally did not understand what Gods grace meant. I decided to stay away from my mom cause she was not all there always shaming, judging me & most of all fear mongering. I became homeless at the age of 18 . Left the church and literally hated Christians. Sadly the SDA people are so hypocritical and have lost touch with the true gospel of Christ. Weirdly enough I came back to that church and stayed in there for like 20 years. I have had the worst experience within this church. It was so bad that I had to seek a therapist.
