Emotions

[CanadianSingh]

Hello folks, and I got a problem. I get a bit emotional,and I cry like a river. My mother talks to me and soothes me. But, people just tell me you are a Sikh, and we don't cry.I am just looking for ways to control my emotions.

What do you cry about brother?

[Guest Jacfsing2]

Do you have a reason for crying? If you don't feel comfortable talking about it publicly you could pm me.

[Singhni MiriPiri]

If you are comfortable with sharing then please do let us know what the matter is here or through pm. We are more than happy to help our little bro It is very nice of the guys above to also be concerned. Don't think that its unmanly or unsikh to cry. Sikhi teaches us to be sympathetic so it is better you have emotions rather than being a stoned hearted fool. Bottling up your emotions will make it worse so it is better to share it with somebody.

lol Simran ji, finding the root of the problems

Depends why you are feeling like this. Is there something that scares you? are you worried about something? is something causing you stress. Crying isn't bad, it's what makes us more compassionate. It's a humbling process in my opinion. So what's on your mind. Share with the Sangat if you wish.

Kira ji the reason I asked those questions is because some vitamin,mineral and nutritional deficiencies may also cause low mood or depression symptoms, such as b12 or D. They can affect anybody be it adults or children, so a doctor would more likely do a blood test first if there are ongoing emotional problems.

Simran is being "sciency", (we all got different ways to help each other out).

Jacfsing2 ji, I'm not being sciency, just being practical with gristhi Jeevan. One needs both, spiritual and gristhi Jeevan in order to solve problems as they should go hand in hand with each other. It is not wise to neglect health awareness where cognitive or emotional issues are present. Hanji u are right each has there own ways to help each other out, but sometimes we forget the basic things of daily life.

Simran Ji. I wasn't ridiculing you, I think you're approach was logical and refined. I believe it was an entirely simple and effective approach and I agree with it completely. I'm well aware these things can cause these sorts of symptoms however I was just surprised that no one had yet mentioned them till you rightfully spoke up :D
