My Depression Disappeared After I Began Practicing Falun Dafa

(Minghui.org) I live in a rural village, and I began practicing Falun Dafa in 1996. I was weak, had no energy, and suffered from many illnesses. After giving birth, I had postpartum depression and neurasthenia (chronic fatigue). I often wanted to die. I fortunately had the opportunity to learn Falun Dafa, so my life took a positive turn. 

A Difficult Life

I did not talk much due to my introverted personality and became even quieter after my younger sister passed away at 18. After getting married, I lived in poor conditions with my husband. I didn’t have parents-in-law but two in-laws, my husband’s elder sister and younger brother. 

My sister-in-law was very domineering so I was afraid of her. She was married but liked to get involved in our affairs, and we had many conflicts. When the brother-in-law got married, she forced me and my husband to give up our house, which was in a very good location next to the highway. After my brother-in-law lived in our house for a few years, he renovated it into a building to rent out and made tens of thousands of yuan a year. 

The sister-in-law repaid the 500 yuan she owed us. Many relatives felt that our situation was unfair and said that I was too cowardly. I had no one to talk to and developed various diseases, including depression, which is considered difficult to treat.

After my child was born, I felt like I was in a daze all day and I didn’t even have the energy to pick my baby up after the infant fell. I decided to stay with my mother for a time, and she helped me take care of the baby. My mother also had a difficult life. Following my sister’s death, my younger brother passed away at age 38. I was the remaining child, but I caused her to worry. I felt so bad that I sometimes wanted to take an overdose of sleeping pills.

When I came back home, I found that my sister-in-law and her husband had moved into our house. I was so angry that I shouted at her. I asked why she moved in and if she could put some money under our quilt (In rural areas, we’re afraid that bad things may happen if we don’t put some money under the quilt). However, she refused. I then tried asking other people to persuade her, but she would not budge. 

From then on, my depression got worse even though I took a lot of medicine. I kept nagging my husband because he refused to defend me. I complained that he wasn’t kind and that life was unfair. 

“Falun Dafa Is Good!”

After I began practicing Falun Dafa Master Li purified my body, and I experienced great physical and mental changes. All my aches and pains disappeared. Even the difficult-to-treat depression was cured without medical treatment. Since then, I haven’t taken a single pill or gone to the hospital.

My family members who do not practice Falun Dafa saw my dramatic changes, and said it was as if I were a different person. They all supported my practice and agreed that Falun Dafa is good. After witnessing my improvement, many relatives, friends, and neighbors started practicing Falun Dafa.

I strictly follow the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. By studying the Fa, I understood the karmic relationships among people, so I let go of my resentment toward my sister-in-law. I felt sympathy for her and helped her family understand the facts of Falun Dafa so they could be saved.

My husband is very grateful to Master and Dafa. He often tells our friends and family: “My wife is making money for me at home!” (Meaning that I’m now healthy and have no medical bills.) 

After the communist Party began persecuting Falun Dafa, my husband graciously welcomed practitioners into our home to study the Fa and share experiences. Over the years, when the police came to our home to harass me, no matter how many officers were there, my husband courageously stood up for me and exclaimed, “Falun Dafa is good!”

Immersed in the wonders of Falun Dafa, my family lives in harmony under Master’s compassionate care.
