Wahe guru ji ka khalsa - wahe guru ji ki fateh.

Hi - Ive just read the email you wrote in and I am hoping the advise i give you does help in someway. Firstly I understand how hard it is being in this situation as i have been in a very similar situation a few years back and it also triggerd off my anxiety - I do realise that at this moment it is hard for you to believe the anxiety will ever go away as thats how i felt but you must believe me you can overcome this problem - It took me a year and i am almost completly there. You Must stop believeing that someone has cursed you - this is Not true its all related to old folks tales back in the olden days in india - You have to try and get rid of the fear of it all - you must constantly re-assure your self that all this curse stuff is rubbish - don't allow your self to question its reality - its a slow process but it gets you thinking much more positivly. Also I remember when i went through all this i was beggining to keep my self locked in the house and avoiding certain things that triggered off my anxiety such as going to sum1's house, Well although its difficult YOU MUST stop restricting yourself from doing things because of fear - nothing will happen to you - try and face your fears - the more you get out and take part in social activities thus keeping yourself busy - the more you will forget you suffer anxiety and begin to live easier and happier. For me reciting Simran every nite before i sleep has helped my insomnia. Remember the antidote to fear is faith. The most helpfull thing for me was to actually go on a holiday to a different country as i left most my problems behind and when i did return i was able to control the anxiety. Counselling can be helpful - but make sure you have the right person to talk to and that you feel comfortable. You will get better - just keep strong - don't give in to fear and guilt and keep your faith - may God be with you. I hope i have helped - all the best - and hey keep smiling :'?
