Out of depression

Submitted by: Levi R.

Pennsylvania

I am an aspiring author and poet. All I wish to do in life is to write. I am a seeker of truth, and a lover of knowledge, the arts, and spirituality. I am a very introverted person, and enjoy time alone. I find beauty in nature and all aspects of life, whether light or dark. I suppose you could call me an eclectic individual.

I am 21 years old. I have been dealing with depression and Generalized Anxiety Disorder since I was about 12. About three years ago, I discovered The Secret DVD while Christmas shopping with my mom at a local bookstore. The title and cover itself just popped out at me. When I read the summary on the back, I just knew I had to have it. I begged my mom to get it for me as an early Christmas gift, and luckily she did. As soon as I watched it, my heart filled with joy and wonderment! For a couple years, however, I set it off to the side and forgot about it. To be honest, I was slightly skeptical about it, but something deep inside of me really believed that it must be true. It made too much sense to me not to be true.

I soon went off to college. I spent about two and a half years there, and every day of it was a struggle to get through. I was terrified, I hated being there, and I felt as if I was stuck, indefinitely. I was so miserable, and my depression and anxiety had increased so greatly, that I had attempted suicide twice. It was something I had thought about numerous times, but never thought I would actually try. The last few months there I kept saying to myself and all of my friends, that I just wanted to be able to go back home, get a job, and write my books. I never thought I’d be able to do that. However, this past semester I ended up in a living situation that I could not deal with. This situation made me feel comfortable enough quitting and returning home, despite what others might have thought. I knew that it was the best thing to do at the time.

This was just the start of me witnessing the Law of Attraction at work, but I wasn’t entirely aware of it. When I finally returned home, which was approximately two months ago, I began to think about an old friend of mine, whom I had not spoken to in several years. I attempted to contact him but found out that he had moved. I searched the phone book and the Internet for my friend, determined to get a hold of him. However, at this time I had no luck, but I continued to think about contacting this person.

Eventually I simply set my intentions on getting a job. I had been searching for a job for the past two years and was having absolutely no luck, so I was a bit discouraged that I would find one any time soon. There was one place in my town that I truly wanted to work, and that was a small market about half a mile from my home.

About a month later I saw a “help wanted” sign right outside this market. Right away I put in an application. For the next week or two I imagined myself getting the job. I truly believed that I would be hired. Amazingly, within those two weeks, I was called in to have an interview, and before I knew it, I had the job and continue to work there. But that isn’t all!

It was my first day of work and I decided to take my break. I sat down in the break room, when someone next to me asked me, “Hey, have you talked to Andrew lately?” Andrew is the friend whom I had been trying to get a hold of. Now, I didn’t know this person, but apparently he knew me as well as my friend. And so I told him, “No. I have no way of getting a hold of him.” Next thing I know, he starts writing down Andrew’s cell phone number and hands it to me!

Now, how could all of these situations take place coincidentally?? They weren’t! Once I thought back on being home, getting the job that I wanted, and then coming across someone who knew my old friend; I knew then and there that these were no coincidences.

The Universe was working with me to get me what I was wanting! And with learning and experiencing The Secret, my depression and anxiety have dissipated! It has given me hope again! It has brought back to me the happiness that I have deprived myself of for so many years! There is magic in the world, and I can feel it again! Thanks to the Secret Team, for sharing this amazing knowledge and magic with the world! Many blessings!
