SAVED FROM SEVERE DEPRESSION

Originally published in Le Heraut de la Christian Science

About 15 years ago, my brother-in-law gave me a copy of Science and Health. I read the book but didn't understand anything, and I set it aside.

Since childhood, I'd suffered from feelings that I was under siege mentally, constantly afraid and always under the impression that everybody wanted to harm me and that nobody loved me. I was also sad all the time and cried a lot, sometimes spending practically all day in tears. After these bouts of crying. I would vomit and suffer from horrible migraine headaches. Often the temptation to commit suicide was very strong, although I resisted it.

My family was Indian. My father was very dark-skinned, and my mother was very fair. Physically, I was the only one in our family of six children who resembled my father, and I was very dark-skinned in comparison with my siblings. I suffered because I felt excluded from the family and considered myself uglier than the others. This spoiled my childhood and young adulthood to a great extent and closed many doors to me. I foresaw a very dark future.
