WJKK WJKF. I have started a new job 2 months ago. I am struggling to cope with the demands of this job but I am trying my best. I am usually someone who works well with other people but I keep unexpectedly rubbing everyone the wrong way and things which are so minor get escalated. The only saving gr...

Mandy, I can sympathise with your situation - it is difficult to be torn between your potential partner and your parents. I got married when I was 22 and at the time I did not understand or realise that life is more than your relationship with your husband - it is your career, your studies, relation...

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh, Thank you for your replies. I am trying to find hobbies to stay busy in and looking into the tulsi tea suggested by singhbj. My family lives overseas so it's difficult for them to visit me. I don't think my depression is stress related, all I want to do ev...

Thank you so much for your reply! I have spoken to my doctor before and he has also advised me to stay busy with hobbies etc. but I don't find any joy in trying new hobbies.

Thank you for your reply! I agree, I believe this decision needs to come from within and there is no point of forcing your spouse to do something against their will, it will only lead to problems. All I can do is hope that he starts to feel the same way I do. I don't mean to pry, but may I ask which...

Thank you so much for your post! Above all, your words have reaffirmed my thoughts and I hope one day I am fortunate enough to take Amrit and continue learning on this path.
Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa, Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh!

thank you for your response, i will do my best to summarise his views - 1. he feels that he earns an honest life 2. he is grateful for everything he has in life 3. he is happy with his life (and his inner self), and doesn't feel that he needs to make any changes 4. he does his best and tries to assi...

When I was engaged, my dad (my family is Sikh) decided to visit a pundit and see how our kundali's matched up. The pundit advised my dad that if the wedding went ahead, I would have severe health problems (and possibly lead to death). My dad then decided to go and visit five other pundits, who also ...
