HOW I OVERCOME DEPRESSION AND SUICIDAL THOUGHTS AFTER LEARNING BUDDHISM?
I am from the Netherlands and I am 22 this year. I was born into a wealthy family and had a pretty smooth upbringing. In 2012, I came to Singapore to study and that was when I became dispirited and depressed, which gradually developed into severe depression, anxiety and panic disorder. I attempted suicide at 16 and was admitted into a mental hospital. It was an extremely miserable experience.
Fortunately, my mother chanced upon Guan Yin Citta and started making vows, and performing recitation and life liberation for me. In 2016, I had my totem read by Master Lu. He said that I had foreign spirits on my body, and I required 2,000 Little Houses and huge quantities of life liberation. For once, I saw light at the end of the tunnel and hence, I started making vows, performing recitation and life liberation.
Soon after I started reciting the Buddhist scriptures, I had my first period in two years! My physical and mental health has since been restored. On a separate note, with no academic track record, I was denied school admission upon returning to the Netherlands. However, after making vows, performing recitation and praying to Bodhisattva for blessings, the School of Economics in University of Amsterdam granted me admission! My life has since been back on track.
