Anxiety

Postby jkse » Wed Sep 24, 2014 10:56 pm

Helllo,
I have been raised in a Sikh family (not baptized), and have always been taught to believe in the will of God and hard work, I really do believe this, but as of late i get this strange feeling or vibe from my sister in law ( almost like black magic or something) she recently moved into our house ( for a little over a year) and I just feel that my anxiety and depression has just spiraled in that time and she seems to give negative vibes and I feel a lot insincerity and back handed comments coming from her and this in turn really effects me ( not sure if that makes sense.)I also have been really paranoid about my health and google random symptoms and convince myself I have various diseases which in turn makes me even more anxious. Im only 27 and have just finished my schooling and I should be looking for work instead I just sit at home worrying and worrying and I know I am in turn hurting my parents. I have lost quite a bit of weight, my iron is really low, and I recently found out I have fibroids which is scaring me even more. On top of all of this I have always been conscious about the way i look ( i know vanity is very contradicting to Sikhi teachings) in this last year I have developed really bad acne and my face has sunken in, and my family tells me to find someone to marry and this stresses me out even more because I feel like who would want to marry someone who looks the way I do. I know my priorities are out of wack can someone please give me some advice, I don't know where to start, if i go to the Gurdwara I don't really understand the Kirtan, and when I find english translations i don't feel im in that proper meditative state to truly feel the words of Guruji. I apologize I know my post is a bit scattered, I am just so lost right now. I have always put my faith in God and the rational part of me knows this black magic stuff is nonsense as no force is greater than God and I feel guilty for thinking so negatively about another person, I just need some words of wisdom here... hope my thoughts make sense.

Waheguru ji ka khalsa
Waheguru ji ki fateh

There are three basic principles of Sikhism -

Naam Japo (Meditate on God's Name)

Kirat Karo (Earn one's living righteously by the sweat of the brow or the industry, effort and conscientiousness of the mind)

Vand ke Chakko (Share what one has with others)

Once you start practicing the above everything else will fall in place.

You will gain health, wealth & respect.

I think your sister in law wants that you should get married & leave just like all other traditional women.

May be she thinks that she will not gain respect & importance while you are around.

This type of behaviour is very common in Punjabi women & families.

Don't worry about her, just concentrate on your life.

Sat Shri Akal,

I agree that you should start practicing the three basic principles described above:

"There are three basic principles of Sikhism -

Naam Japo (Meditate on God's Name)

Kirat Karo (Earn one's living righteously by the sweat of the brow or the industry, effort and conscientiousness of the mind)

Vand ke Chakko (Share what one has with others)"

And I also agree that you should focus on yourself and not worry about what your sister-in-law thinks or feels.

I do think I should offer some words of support.

You are not alone. I see that you are 27 and a recent graduate in the Canadian labour market. I know first hand of the extreme difficulties faced by recent graduates. Know that your issues are not just your own and that the entire nation is experiencing this.

Also know your feelings of anxiety, paranoia and depression are linked to this as well. Practice naam japo, kirat karo, and vand ke chakko and make a habit of dispelling negative self talk (I can't do this, I'm useless, I've wasted my life). Negative self talk only serves to weight you down. Your weight and appearance are the result of your current mind set. It is a medical fact that your anxiety, depression and negative self talk will result in the release of hormones which produce acne and weight loss (gain for others).

Your family is concerned about your happiness and future. Respect that. Be not afraid to talk about your feelings and seek comfort in them as well as Naam.

I hope my words provide both direction and support.
