  • Religion gave me crippling anxiety when I was 11-13. In Hinduism, stepping on paper or books is disrespectful and a sin. My dad would get very upset if I didn’t get amazing grades, so I always made sure I didn’t step on paper in fear god would punish me by giving me bad grades.

    This turned into me praying for forgiveness over 20 times a day just in case I stepped on tiny pieces of paper I didn’t see or notice. It was terrible. My cousin told me it was a problem. My mom asked me to stop praying so much. I was completely afraid my life was not in my control. I had to pray so I wouldn’t piss off my dad and get yelled at.

    Fuck religion. Fuck these dumb ass fucking rules. If god exists, fuck him for creating this terrible, painful world.
