For me it's also the constant praise for woman's struggles & pioneers struggles. It's always praise for sacrificing until death, not, we placed you in a position where you had no other choice.

The sense of false positivity that we women endured in Mormonism In this same concept we sacrifice ourselves for others rather than value ourselves .

A few weeks ago I realized I didn’t trust my own intuition because I always felt the need to go to my leaders for counsel. Now that I think for myself it’s SO freeing!!!

In therapy, this is referred to “a Christ complex” where we feel we have to sacrifice ourselves for others even to the detriment to our own physical and mental health. Men and women both .

I’m 15 years out and I still find the deep grooves that the church has made in me. Be gentle with yourself.

💯 i have the same issue recreating my codependent role as fixer/sacrificer. I try so so hard to MAKE the other person happy, that I completely forget about my needs.

The self-power I found after leaving! I was so burnt out always sacrificing myself for others and not living for me— not anymore 🤗

Don’t light yourself on fire to keep others warm. I’ve been trying really hard to internalize that recently.

As a kid growing up Mormon, I used to think about Jesus and think that I could do what he did, suffer and die for others, and then I would immediately feel bad because that was probably blasphemous

exjw here. I woke up during covid. I'm having a very similar experience. I'm learning how not to be a people pleasing door mat who only gains joy by giving others joy.

Oh girl. Yes. All of this. The self sacrifice is insane. I’m 48, left at 46. Feeling like I am enough and amazing as I am is the most liberating feeling. 💙
