I'm currently 19 years old, and my story starts when I was about 17 years old, still in high school. I was always going through hard times in my life because of school, depression, thoughts of suicide, anxiety, questions about faith.

This event used to happen frequently on the bus ride to school, because I would be so anxious to get off the bus because I would always feel like throwing up. One day, I had the same "anxiety attack" and I could only resort to praying to god to help me feel better. I kept saying at a whispering tone "God help me, God help me", and at most ten minutes later the anxiety and pain was gone. I always thanked god in my mind after getting off the bus.

There would be days where I tested my faith, I wouldn't pray to god even though I was only hurting myself, and feeling hopeless because of the anxiety. I would end up going straight to the nurses office, where I would overcome a warm presence, and feel better, and continue my day.

Now, 19 years old, I read the stories on this site every day, I feel so powerful and strong, some kind of transformation happened to me over those 2 years, that made me stronger. I knew I was weak because I was depressed in school all the time. But to overcome something like that, It made me as strong as I am today, in my faith, and in my knowledge. I try every day to help others, and open their eyes to the truth. I will never give up!

Thanks for reading my story.
