vahiguroo, why an earth do you feel like a failure. After everything you;ve been through, with kirpaa you;ve been blessed with amrit, and ur goin to uni-so u can live - gristi jeevan. Id say thats pretty amazing, dont put urself down, take some time to see how far you've come. I wont be able too give you any advice about losing your family, cos only you know how that must feel. You've lost those who you were most attached too, that must be............... Are you living with any family members/close freinds who might be able to help/support you. Or maybe join some sort of support group or see another therapist. If your having thoughts of taking your life, then you need help for that problem. Once you start addressing that issue, then as penji above said, you really need sangat. Try going to your local gurdwara as much as you can, even if no sangat is there, and you just sit with mahraj for a while, it can make a massive difference. Get a gutka, do some baani. Try meet up with local sangat, get together do keertan. Do ardas, ask mahraj to help you through this. I dont want to sound patronising and you must be going through a really tough time, but after a while things will get better, and you'll look back on this.

If you ever need someone to talk to either pm or email sangat from here, create an account, spend time reading the inpirational section/gurbani section.

take care penji.

[Guest Painless]

People turn to suicide because they are seeking relief from pain. Remember that relief is a feeling. And you have to be alive to feel it. You will not feel the relief you so desperately seek, if you are dead.

Suicide is just a permanent solution to a temporary problem. Anyone desperate enough for suicide...should be desperate enough to go to creative extremes to solve their problems which they face.

Find some local sangat or make some more non-Sikh friends. Do more Paath, Simran and keep more Rehat even if it becomes very difficult. Take up some activities and hobbies, especially sports, keep a strict exercise regime for physical self improvement. Try new and different things. Try different therapists or consider alternative treatment. Leave your email address (make a new one if you don't want to show your identity) here and may be a few people can offer some help.

Hope these suggestions were useful - try them!

know where you're comign from. Go to gurdwara regularaly and focus on naam/bani. thoes people at the gurdwara are your sangat, even if you don't know their name. being arond them will help. suicide throws one into chaurassi lakh jooon, so is ultimately more painful than dealing with depression.

sometimes, depression can only be solved by meditation, not thereapy. this is b/c the reason for depression continuing is our separation from god. god gives dukh to bring us on teh path.
