Wonderfully said. Negative emotions scare me. But I will learn to be a detective & spend more time asking them what they've come to tell me, what they need me to learn. Thank you for this thought-provoking lesson. So glad I read this today! Blessings!

It is so inspiring to hear that someone as joyful as you has been through such dark times. I think you are so right that we must learn to deal with suffering in our society & not just repress these things. Also extremely beautiful video- thank you!☺️

Hi Dear Gurdeep! Your article truly moved me. It is so beautifully written, I kept thinking about it long after reading. I saw so much of myself in your words, it felt like my story in a different shape. I’m sure many people will feel the same. I’m really happy you found your joy and had the heart to share it with others. Just yesterday, I was telling my mom that while many want to relive their past, I don’t…I love where I am now. But I’m also grateful for my past, because it showed me sides of myself I didn’t know.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for sharing something so real and powerful. 🙏🏽

All I have to say is “Wow”! What a beautifully written article! You describe my descent so well from your own experience. Only, I did fall to the very bottom. I had gone and lost my mind. Went to the psych ward many times. My resilience is slow in coming but 2 and a half years ago, I discovered God all over again but more personal. It is He that keeps me going and my sister, too! Your article reminds me a bit, if not a lot, of a book I’m currently reading called “No Bad Parts” by Richard C. Schwartz, PhD. I’m near the end of the book. It talks about each of us having different parts and it’s important to embrace each part. Even the ones you want to resist or ignore. That’s why the book is called “No Bad Parts” because the author believes all parts of oneself have good intentions, no matter how misguided they may be. Thank you for sharing your deep struggles with us, Gurdeep! It’s always a pleasure reading your articles. I love you! ❤️
