2013-04-07 22:23:01 -0500 | asked a question | Feeling teachinfs, Facing Barriers Hello I am white. I was in a relationship with a Sikh boy for two years. Depression caused me to nearly take my life twice. I stopped taking birth control and those thoughts faded away. He cheated and left me. We talked of marriage. I met his family. But never felt fully validated. He did showed me a lifestyle that felt and continues to feel right. I seem to feel this is right. But I now feel lonely and very lost. I cry when I read Guru Granth Sahib. Every Daily Hukamnama seems to be talking about my experience that day or my thoughts and feelings. I hold back tears. For months I was awaken at 4am. Many times I listened to Japji Sahib as suggested by a friend. It calmed me and I would find sleep again. I have dreams with strangers in them. I talk with Sikh men in gardens or near streams. Its calming and I dont cry. But I cry awake. I fear my heart being broken and my loneliness and feelings of betrayl are preventing me from truly connecting with God. I did not grow up in a religious home. I always felt uncomfortable in churches. Id ask my Sikh friends for help but they pass off this need to be my break up. But I feel its more than that. Other friends tell me to go to "my peoples" churches. I also fear that I will always be alone. I have since invested in myself. I volunteer I know what I want to do. But I cant shake this off. I dont know what to do. I find myself drawn here but rejected at the same time. ~Tearful Wanderer |
