I’m new to this and still have a ways to go research-wise but a friend keeps warning me to emotionally steel myself for the worst part of it. That makes me pretty nervous, so I was wondering if you all can help me prepare. Do you recall an “Oh shit, I can’t believe this is happening” moment when stumbling on some info from drops, breadcrumbs, or anything else? I’ve seen another proof to believe, but haven’t gotten into the grit.

The fact you have been asleep for so long, and it took until your freedoms you believed you had were "almost taken". They were gone long ago. Right before freedom is given back to the people, is the worst time to wake up/. To be fair, all you will have is hope and none of the despair of worry we have all had watching this unfold.
I felt this too. It led me right here: Therefore, since we have such a hope, we are very bold. We are not like Moses, who would put a veil over his face to prevent the Israelites from seeing the end of what was passing away. But their minds were made dull, for to this day the same veil remains when the old covenant is read. It has not been removed, because only in Christ is it taken away. Even to this day when Moses is read, a veil covers their hearts. But whenever anyone turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away. Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. And we all, who with unveiled faces contemplate the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into his image with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit. - 2 Corinthians 3:12-18
I am in no means trying too dishearten you, but the feeling of learning that you "have been asleep" is worse then my feeling of being rejected by the ones I loved. I have had a few friends come around and they are all appologies. "I just didn't understand." "I am so sorry for the way I treated you". I accept them back with open arms. I never wanted them to hurt. But I am not sorry at all for believing what I believe. My despair will never be their self condemnation. Jeremiah 29-11
