Religious trauma and psychiatry are an extremely cruel combination.

Are there any Hebrew speakers here? Or Jews? I grew up in the Jewish religion for many years and was so scared about CTB
I have religious trauma if there is such a thing
My health is so bad for all sorts of reasons I have detailed in my previous posts
Just desperate and tired I feel like I am in eternal abuse just being alive

No Hebrew here, but hi anyway. Was CTB just described as evil? Or were you told about an afterlife too? People usually say Judaism has no afterlife but I know it shows up in various places in the tradition

Opinions differ according to the Jewish jurists, but according to most sources, it is simply a complete prohibition.
They call this a person who loses himself in knowledge... But it is cruel that a person suffers so much and is left to rot while everyone else quotes verses and religious matters.

"Loses himself in knowledge." That'll stick with me.

What happens to people who kill themselves in Judaism ?? Do they go to hell like in Christianity ?

Before humans could even write they were looking for ways to explain their own existence. This was probably one of the motivations of developing languages albeit not the only one. After forms of communication developed they got the idea for religions and now we have thousands of them and they all claim to be the only valid one hence we have all of these disagreements and wars. I've known people who were Jewish per se but basically were agnostic and lived a secular life. I believe in your theory of religious trauma for sure. It's a form of mind control. My suggestion is to leave where you are but starting over is a daunting task. Maybe you're ready for it from how you say you feel. I'm sorry you are in this situation. A Muslim woman was posting the other day about her horrible situation because of her religious life as well. I don't see that any religions solve anything on the planet
