Try to hang in there Robin. Unfortunately life is harder for some

than others. I've had quite a few times of darkness in my life and

I don't know how I made it through. I remember a time when I slept

for 3 months on a hardwood floor in the corner of my aunt's one-room

efficiency, thankful to have a roof over my head. I can make some

practial recommendations:

1-stay positive= turn off the radio or TV when there's bad news or

sad stories. Rent movies that are uplifting and avoid ones that are

scary or tragic. If you're having a really bad day, eat very little

or fast. During those times, if you have to eat, eat food someone

else has cooked.

2-find a supportive community group. Go to any church or other

positive atmosphere on a regular (at least weekly) basis.

Unfortunately, local "satsangs" don't act like "sangha's" most of the

time. Example: Here in the DC area with the lunatic sniper

around, no one has suggested we get together for a special puja to

pray to bring the killer to justice. Even if someone suggested it,

chances are no one would make the sacrifice of time to do it, even

though they don't like the idea of looking like a deer when pumping

their gas.

3-Find out about your vedic astrology influences. Right now with the

conjunction (think that's the word) of 7 planets, it's real bad for

everyone. But if an astrologer can recommend chanting a particular

mantra, it can help some acute problems, in addition to distracting

your mind from life's problems.

In my 5 years of going for darshan and applying Amma's teachings,

I've watched all those 5 years people already living a higher

lifestyle get more grace than me, and seen my life go from bad to

worse. It's different for everyone.
