or perhaps you could recommend any books/articles/documentaries about practicing Christianity on your own? sorry again if it's too heavy and thank you for your blog! it's one of the few things that do make me feel welcome as a Christian. sending good vibes!
i'm sorry for taking so long to respond to this! its an incredibly difficult thing you're going through, and unfortunately i don't have answers. My own practice of Christianity is so entangled with community due to being a minister, so I'm afraid I don't know anything about solitary practice. That being said, I want you to know that there is absolutely nothing wrong with having a private faith. Simone Weil, for example, had such incredible insights into God and the world without ever formally joining the Church.
A book I recently began reading is "Redeeming Power: Understanding Authority and Abuse in the Church" which probably won't tell you anything new, but may provide comfort and validity to your experiences.
treating my life like an experiment. observing myself from all angles. seeing how far i can take my body and my mind before they break.

"I thought of you like Joan in all your youth and purity and single-minded madness. And I saw myself in Artaud, a hungering monk in love with you and with my madness and your madness. And the demon in Artaud's eyes was like the demon in your eyes." I am going insane
