Hello All,
I am new to the forums and hope you might be able to offer me some advice. I was in a wonderful religious community for two years (Postulant and Novice) and recently returned to the world. I am still trying to adjust to being back, and am experiencing a great deal of confusion over the whole experience. I thought I was happy, however I was constantly struggling over various things with my superiors, and ultimately began struggling with being depressed about three weeks ago I made the decision to leave. I’m dealing with my health issues, and finding out that my depression may be due to some food allergies.
I still feel like I may have a calling to religious life, after all, I didn’t leave because I wanted to be married or in the world, I just felt like I wasn’t capable of being what my superiors wanted me to be. I am seeking out a good spiritual director for help as well.
Without rambling any longer, I wonder if any of you have any advice. Or have any of you experienced what it is like to leave religious life.
May God Bless you.
