One of the greatest lies the religious were sold, is that if you're "good", bad things won't happen to you. As a matter of fact, as long as you're human, life will happen to you. As long as you try to do things right, those who prefer the status quo will fight you.
I know too many people who went "bad" because they felt betrayed by God. They keep saying, "After all, I did things right and look what happened to me. Now, I'm going to do all the bad things I didn't do earlier in life."
First, you can't "outbad" the professional bad guys. Chances are you'll simply end up destroying your soul and wrecking what's left of your life.
Second, it's okay to heal. Its okay to disappear for a while. Don't make decisions that don't need to be made while hurting. Take your time. Let your eye clear.
And remember, what you need while hurting is not necessarily what you need for the future. Find what you need now but be fluid. Don't make permanent decisions during a temporary pain.
