I am lost.

Question

Master, I feel there are things about the way I am that I can bear less and less. I find it impossible to accept them, but I do not know how to change them either. At the same time, I feel more withdrawn every day, and I no longer even know how to connect with other people, including people with whom, until not long ago, I had a beautiful, strong relationship. What used to motivate me no longer interests me much, and the idea of suicide comes to me more and more often. Please help me if you can. I am lost and do not know what to do.

Answer from Master Kosen

When leaving one state of being and moving into a new one, there are moments of doubt and transformation, sometimes very uncomfortable ones. This is part of the process of transformation.
