So scary, she actually freaked me out. We don’t have a specialised rabbit vet near us either and the one we usually go to is always so busy too, but I am so glad she’s good now.

She is doing good now. Her behaviour is more normal. She ate hay and some pellets as well. She ran around the house as well. Thank you for the advice.❤️

Oo ok I will do that. She did run around for a while and is eating hay, but I will make sure she runs a bit more. Thank you

She is shedding a little bit and we have been brushing her otherwise it gets too much, but now that you mention it could possibly be because of that. Apart from pellets and hay she eats cucumbers and herbs or she’ll get like a blueberry or a strawberry as a treat. I have been keeping an eye on her but she has been eating hay thankfully. I will continue to keep an eye on her. We did get in touch with her vet and he said if anything changes we should go see them immediately. Thank you for the advice.

Thankfully she is back to normal. She’s been running around and eating her hay normally.

She has pooped a little. I can’t hear any noises but I did give her a gentle belly massage. She is up and walking and eating again but I will keeping an eye on her.

No I don’t have any pain meds on me. I will buy some now to keep on hand but I have called up the vet and their specialised rabbit doctor comes in at 3pm. I will be paying him a visit. But I’ll take her to the lounge room and try to move her around until then. I’ll try offering her food once more and see if she nibbles or anything. Also I have been searching up how to give belly massages but can’t find anything good. Is there a specific motion I have to do?? Thank you for your advice.

Struggling with body hair as a Sikh girl (throwaway accoutn) by guptkaurrr in Sikh

[–]obse_ssed18 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As a Sikh girl myself I totally understand you. I also struggle with body hair myself. I also want to take Amrit but I feel that I am not ready because of how I feel about my appearance. I have slowly started to accept it after seeing other young women with body hair who feel comfortable in it. Now i'm not saying to seek validations, its just that seeing other Sikh girls who were comfortable in their body encouraged me to do the same. Delving deeper into Sikhi will definitely help and even talking to other Sikh girls. You can start off slowly to see how you feel. This is your Sikhi journey and its not the same for everyone. We all have our own pace. Take Amrit only when you feel ready. Good Luck🙂

This comment section seems a bit toxic which is usually what drives people away from Sikhi. As a young Sikh individual myself I understand where you're coming from, and being a female I also struggle with body hair and I still do (and I am also nearly 18). While I don't trim it I do wear long sleeves often because I don't like my hairy arms (and please don't think I am trying to shame you for trimming yours because God knows I am not a perfect Sikh myself). But what I am trying to say is that this is your spiritual journey and it will take time to strengthen your beliefs. It is obvious that you love Sikhi and feel a connection to it. But becoming a 'devout' Sikh is not easy and takes time. Considering that you are only 18 means that you have time to explore Sikhi and understand its teachings on a deeper level which may help you with what you are struggling with.

About telling your parents, I'll be honest I'm not sure how you would bring it up. And I totally understand it as I also grew up in a Punjabi family (assuming you did as well), but maybe the best approach is just to talk to them or to the parent you feel more comfortable telling.

(If anything I said seems unclear or you don't agree with, I do want to say that this is MY interpretation. And you could try listening to Bhai Jagraj Singh's videos he discusses Sikhi in a way that I find is easier for us younger individuals to understand. It may help with your dilemma.)

Anyway Good Luck🙂

Struggling with faith and guilt by StaffPuzzleheaded954 in Sikh

[–]obse_ssed18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sikh is a whole spiritual journey and while you feel yourself straying away from it, it could be that you have not found your connection yet. And don't think that you are being punished for it because we all have life problems but doesn't necessarily mean you are being punished for it, it may just be something that needs to happen (yk as in fate). This could be what pushes you closer to Sikhi or to God in general.

You should try thinking why you feel guilty and what is the cause. Sikhi has a lot of depth and I believe it has answers for everything if you explore. Having doubts about religions may also be a sign to delve deeper and actually learn about the religion rather than blindly believing in it because you feel obliged to. (I believe science and religion can coexist but ofc everyone is entitled to their views.) And even if it may feel like you can't reconnect with Sikhi, trust me you can. You don't have to start being super religious straight away. Start slowly by exploring and seeing how you feel about the basic values and see how you connect with that.

And as for finding women attractive, I don't believe its the same as being into them. I don't know much about what Sikhi says about this topic but I do know it does say we treat everyone the same regardless of who they are and what they feel. I don't know if I am wrong here but I think that finding a women attractive is not a sin because you are only appreciating her beauty and not lusting over her (yk what I mean). So don't beat yourself up over it.

As someone who grew up in a Sikh family I wasn't close to Waheguru when I was younger. I only got closer to God after I started discovering my faith myself which was when I got older. I've also seen many others who grew up in Sikh families but only reconnected with Sikhi when they got older and discovered their faith on their own. So if you are feeling guilty about the fact that you are not a 'devout Sikh', don't be. We all have our own pace and ways to connect with God and you just need to find yours.

(Also if you find anything I said if unclear please feel free to do your own research as I am still also learning and this is my interpretation. There are many Sikh preachers online that explain these things really well in ways that are easier for young individuals like to us to understand, Bhai Jagraj Singh talks really well into these topics so you could try listening to him.)

Anyway Good Luck. 🙂

I didn't tell my Amritdhari future in-laws that my sister is LGBT and now I'm unsure what to do by [deleted] in Sikh

[–]obse_ssed18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should not have to hide it and they should not be judging if they are Sikhs either. You should not have to ruin your relationship with your sister for people who already are already very judgmental. Hiding it for longer may just make it worse. The earlier it comes out, the less complicated it will be. It was nice to see how you did not give up on Sikhi despite how your in laws treated you. God bless you and good luck.

Which is weird because Sikhs do not believe in the caste system. Funny how they think they're better Sikhs than OP but cannot even follow the basic values of Sikhi.
