Caused...probably not.
But triggered...I can see it.
The harshness of meetings and sponsors really messed with my head, leaving me feeling the same hopelessness and loneliness autumn4 described.
Some people need criticism, some people need encouragement.
I think the first group does great in AA. The second group does not.
That is nothing against AA or the people it works for. It is just that people have different histories and have different needs.
