Please remove if this is not allowed. The guy I’m seeing brought me to church with him to meet some of his people. He wants to connect on a more spiritual level and I am all for that it’s just I haven’t been back to church since my first psychotic break. Some of my delusions get religious and I’m worried it might be triggering but I don’t want it to get in the way of this relationship.
I’m sorry. I have trouble being in even the atheist church nowadays, because it’s very triggering for me. Can you explain your worries to him, and have a backup plan in case you feel too overwhelmed?
I’ll talk to him about it. I like church for the community and I’m not too symptomatic right now so I can handle it, so I think I’ll tell him if I get symptomatic I can’t go to church
To be honest, the questions that would bother me would be: are you religious? ANd if so, do you share the tenets upheld by that particular church?
I am not religious but like church for the sense of community and performance that goes with it. This church is unlike the one I grew up in and I enjoyed learning about the culture. I probably would fit in better in a Unitarian Universalist church.
I think that might be good idea,I volunteered in church kitchen.It was alright,but the job was too demanding.
While you are still young,try everything where you can connect with people.If you are triggered by it,then stop.
