[WelcomeMe]

your story sounds very similar to mine, grenzee/ richard. i had a breakdown at the same age as you...i also left a church (i wasn't kicked out, but left) which i realized was only the half truth...it was a very confusing time for me, my teenage years (i would never want to go back!).

anyway...a very warm welcome to you, this is such a fascinating website and lovely forum. i see you are from the uk too, good place to be, lol. some day soon i have to get up to wiltshire to take a good look at those crop circles, maybe even camp on top of one. :d
