Since leaving the church, how has your mental health changed? Do you feel better or worse emotionally?

That's all fine, but what I'm really asking is about your mental health personally. I imagine growing up in that type of community has had a lot of influence on your beliefs and personality (almost like brainwashing), and now you must be recreating an identity to some extent. Do you feel as though you were brainwashed there? If so, what kindof changes in yourself have you experienced since leaving?
