From Christian to Atheist. Confusion and depression
Depression Support / by Skyfrappe

...See more I was born and raised in a Christian family, I was forced to go to church, there was a lot of pressure for me to get baptized and be a Christian. Because of all this, I ended up getting baptized twice. First, I got baptized when I was around 9 years old, I was such a goody two shoes type of person and I just wanted to please my family and get praised for being the good girl. Years later, I realized that maybe my faith wasn't real back then (obviously not) and I ended up getting baptized again when I was around 16 years old, again, I felt so much pressure to be a Christian, to be a good girl. Now that I am 21, now that I finally moved out, I have to say that I am officially an atheist. There are tons and tons of religions in the world, how am I supposed to know that mine is right? I feel so brainwashed all these years. I never got to question my faith and the bible until just recently. In fact, I was too young to really ,question anything, I grew up with the Christian mentality, I was just a kid. Now as an atheist, I am scared of something though. I always heard about that unbelievers will go to hell and even though I do not believe in God, I feel so paranoid that what if I am really going to hell. It is bothering me so much, and the idea is really disturbing. This depresses me.
