Depression Will Hit.
Submitted by: Chloe
London, United KingdomI am 15 years old. I was born in London, but I never lived in London, that's the thing. My parents were just in London so that I would be born In Britain. I now live in Atlanta, Georgia and when I read this book I felt that my life would never be the same.
When I was 12 years old, I didn’t feel confident about my body. I thought and I was really chubby and I felt depressed, because I would see these skinny girls in my class that weighed probably half of what I weighed. I would always think: “I’m never having a boyfriend.” Or, “Nobody likes me because of my weight.” I had my friends and all but there were those days in which they would comment about my weight and I would just feel so uncomfortable.
But one day I found “The Secret” and read it and I did all of the activities they suggested to do. After all that reading I would still feel al little depressed because I thought “This is about emotions, not about being fat.” Well one day I “nailed” a giant piece of paper on my wall, and each day I wrote in capital letters: “I AM PERFECT THE WAY I AM.” I just believed so much but I was expecting a quick response. It did not come.
After a few times after wasting about 5 pieces of paper my hope was lost for a quick fix. I knew that I would not magically become skinny overnight. So I started a new diet and I used ALL the methods listed on The Secret: The check, the collage, the lists, gratitude, etc. And within a year I was the way I wanted to be! I live a new healthy life. I got a new boyfriend and my life has been simply perfect.
