(((((((((((((((hugs))))))))))))))) I know what your saying, I have an anxiety disorder and take meds.....helps big time. But going back to your thoughts on religion (buddhism) I to have explored this as well as alot of other religions and decided that they all have something to offer,so I take all the good stuff that will help me. Intellectually I think it has made me look at life so much more differently especially since I have been dealing with my mental health.
Yes we have to be so careful when it comes to religion, especially us who suffer from mental health issues,I think we are more open in our minds to this kind of stuff. You were ment to go down the path you went down, so you can discover what you uncovered about yourself,without that you wouldn't be where you are. You have accomplished alot and did not have a wasted day,and that's one persons oppinion.
