From a young age I had suffered really badly with anxiety and after so many years of it getting progressively worse it soon turned to depression. I started to distance myself from everyone and failed all my exams. I didn’t feel like my life was worth living, every night I would think about how good it would be if I wasn’t here anymore, it would mean no more stress for me. These feelings stayed with me for a long time but when I went to college I knew I had to do something about it.

I went to the doctors and had weekly appointments to speak to my GP. This helped but it wasn’t until one day when I was in college that a friend told me about The Secret, so I ordered it straight away. At first I was sceptical but who wouldn’t be.

I read the book in two days and started to put it into practice and in doing so I got straight to the top of the list to see a counsellor. The waiting list was 12 weeks which was the next step I felt I had to take. I was classed as high alert for suicide, but between the counselling and The Secret, in a short period of time all suicidal thoughts had vanished! It was like a totally different me and then everything started to fall into place. I then got accepted onto the next level of my course and also got the chance to move out of my family home which was amazing.

Fast forward a year. I have ups and downs but mainly ups thankfully, and what inspired me to tell my story was the fact that I don’t get any negative thoughts anymore, my mind is completely clear. At first it felt weird and I got a weird, sickly feeling in my stomach because I was so used to dealing with my thoughts day in and day out, but now I feel totally free.

I am so grateful that I was introduced to The Secret. It has made my life much better.

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I will forever be grateful xx
