I'm in the process of deconverting. It's extremely hard and I have OCD so it's like 10 times worse. I'm also overeducated on all this nonsense due to listening to too many apologists. But I've been thinking about my experiences in the church and am wondering. Do I even know a single catholic that doesn't have any weird mental health issues. Nearly every Catholic I know has religious OCD. A girl in young adult group I used to be in messaged the group chat about how she might miss mass due to not having a car at a bachelorette retreat and is freaking out and I'm wondering if a single mentally heathy devout catholic exists.

Also side bar. I have a catholic ex-girlfriend that still loves me and wants me back but I dont think I could raise kids catholic even with her knowing I'm an atheist now and being ok with it. The psychological torture that goes in leaving is insane. She also has OCD so I feel like I'd be dooming the kids.
