I was baptised in my parents' pond at the age of 10. It started raining right afterward, and the pastor's wife chose a hymn I hated. My younger sister was allowed to choose, whether to be baptised or not, but I had no choice and we went through pre-baptism bible study together with our parents' pastor.
I was really upset about being baptised, I thought it was supposed to mean something and for me it as sure as heck was not something I could do sincerely.
I know some people who've had un-baptism ceremonies following their deconversions, but I don't know if that would be helpful or not. Just deconverting in itself was cleansing.
