But if this group of people at church will judge you and be mean, you don't need that. It would probably be irresponsible of you actually to go somewhere that could trigger you, unless you felt very ready. You've been through much, keep yourself safe hun.

Hi clinte89, and all you guys who have posted on this blog,
I am in England, uk, and yes!! I go church, have been singing in worship this morn. I am sad, that so many of your are uncomfortable at church.
I do understand the anxieties about "going church", as I have dealth with ocd for years so you can imagine how hard it is. Sometimes I used to find it hard too in church, but, knowing that Jesus loves me, personally, with my fears and ocd, helped me to enjoy singing and listening about Jesus. Also its not anyone's place to judge, anyone. You just have to be careful, to talk to people who you can learn to trust. But most important is Trusting in Jesus Christ, as he is the top man! he knows all about us and loves us each sooo much!
So I hope who ever wants ,will feel able to visit a church to two, have a look around, and remember that whatever church you go to, no-one there is any better or superior to you. Everyone at the church you see, has their own problems and I hope you will be made welcome. Our Pastor and other team people, are always teaching on how, we are blessed to be loved by the Lord, not by anything we done, but by the grace and love of God. And this love is very everyone! Sending you all love and blessings. susan.
