It feels a bit awkward because I believe that my depression and anxiety are directly linked to my experiences in Mormonism. But the Ex-Mormon sites usually aren't equipped to discuss depression/anxiety and the depression/anxiety sites aren't meant to deal with Mormonism!
Do you see Mormonism as being cult-like? That was my experience with the fundamentalist church I grew up in. It had some cult-like qualities. An added burden is that it was an evangelical protestant church, and I got the feeling that because the T's I visited were also evangelicals, they were hesitant to accept that any evangelical protestant church could ever be harmful.
