You have my admiration. I have mostly beaten the depression I use to experience. All of it a result of reconciling reality with the shit I was taught as a child. Cost me my parents, aunts uncles, cousins and sibling, but such is life. Keep up with those meds! You have good incentive.
So, you have or had genuine psychotic delusions too?
I'm only half joking here, and not to make light of mental illness at all, but I actually find comfort today in the extremely unlikely event there IS a hell, it would be preferable to the alternative if the alternative is filled with evangelicals. It has helped me.
