It’s interesting how deconverting affects people differently

For me it felt like freedom and a huge relief/weight lifted

No more worrying about all this stuff and I can just enjoy life

Whereas I had a friend who also deconverted at the same time

For him he became depressed because he felt he had no purpose/goal anymore and life was meaningless

Eventually he ended up returning to the faith

I find it interesting that the experiences can be so different
