I am in my last year of university studying a finance degree and got a month left till I finish my final exams. But things have not been going well recently, at university we get coursework to do but some are individual and meant to be done alone. Throughout university I've been doing my individual courseworks with my friends, as we help each other. I've been doing this since first year because mainly everyone does it at university.

But recently its been bothering me that i've done something wrong and because I have OCD my mind keeps focusing on it. Its got to a point were Im really feeling down and its affecting me mentally and spiritually, as soon as i wake up i start thinking i done something really bad and keep apologising to Guru Ji. Im not sleeping properly, nor studying properly or eating properly.

I don't what to do now.

See a counsellor. As you have OCD, have you ever had professional help with it? If so, go back to them and ask for help again.

You are going through a stressful time, at University. Does your University have any support group to assist students through stressful times?

Approach them first, and get it sorted. Don't be embarrassed to get help. When one needs it, then you just have to go for it.

Do relaxation exercise also, that will help for the anxiety.

Some self help tips:

It has taken a while for you to put that in your mind - the guilt I mean. It's hard to help change any mental thoughts for anyone. Maybe you can try whatever works best for you as a distraction in the way of a long walk or swim and freshen up.

Under constant pressure the mind wants to just escape the body. Try a meditation video, many of which are available on u tube.

Exams may seem the immediate world to you at the moment but there will be much more to deal with Once you are out of school. The amount of mistakes we make are numerous and have no end according to gurbani. Therefore it is important to keep spirits high and work always to develop a positive mental attitude. Keep your thoughts in check and always tell yourself you will try your best.

Imagine repeating another year - if that snaps you out of your present condition. That way you will want to give your best shot at things. Whats past is gone and will never come back. However the future is still in your hands - that is what you should worry about. Again only you know what will work for you. Don't be afraid to ask for professional help if you need it. Alternatively a self help might work faster for you as it is exam time too.

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
