A journey through pain, courage and hope
My Story
“From the shadows into the light”
I had everything. And then I lost everything. Except myself.
At the age of 21, I received a diagnosis that would change my life forever: hypothyroidism, which completely and rapidly changed my body and mind. But that wasn’t the worst of it. What was really growing in my body was not just a tumor, but a time bomb – an explosion of years of negative energy that affected me from the outside. A tumor that was growing deep inside me, destroying not only my body but also my soul. My family had already given up and bought me a grave. I knew then that I had to get out and fight on my own.
I weighed 130 kilos, my body was a reflection of my inner struggles. Since childhood, I was taught to be someone I never really was – someone who was constantly trying to fit in with the world’s expectations. Into a world where outward appearances counted more than inner values. Into a world where I was never taught to love myself. The negative energies that surrounded me were like an invisible shadow that tied me to my past. They pulled me further and further into a vortex of doubt and insecurity.
But the tumor that was growing in my body wasn’t the only thing that was bothering me. It was the sum of all the bad energy, all the devaluations, all the disappointments I had experienced from the world and from the people around me. I was never enough. The constant reproaches, the rejection of my mother, the indifference of my family – it had all turned me into a shadow of myself. And in my inner chaos, this tumor grew like a reflection of my inner turmoil.

“Out of the shadow of my old self.”

"Into the light. Into the new me."
I knew deep down that this tumor was more than just an illness. It was the physical manifestation of all the negative thoughts and energies that had enveloped me for years. The forces that led me into this situation were not just external – they were deeply rooted in my soul. They shaped me into someone who didn’t understand myself, who was constantly adapting in order to survive in a world that knew no love. But at some point, at a turning point, I suddenly felt that I no longer had to fight against something that was constantly weakening me. I no longer had to fight my body and my mind. I had to start freeing myself. I no longer had to apologize for other people’s mistakes. I had to learn to love myself.
The crucial turning point came when I realized that this tumor, this hypothyroidism, was not what defined me. It was just a symptom of a much deeper problem. And as I began to recognize and let go of the negative energies around me, the tumor inside me began to shrink as well. I understood that I myself was the key to my healing.
I have been a single parent since my daughter was born, and although life has thrown many hurdles in my way, I am free – free from the shackles of the past that held me captive for a long time. Today, I realize that I am stronger than all the negative energy that once shaped me. I am strong because I had the courage to set myself free.
My story is not just one of physical struggle. It is the story of a woman who fought against the shadows of the past and defeated them. It is the story of a woman who, through all the blows of fate, learned to love herself and find the strength to change her life.
I want to show you that no matter how many tumors the world has sown in your life, you too have the power to change your life. You are the creator of your own reality. Your true strength lies in loving yourself and believing that you can achieve anything. It’s never too late to free yourself from negative energies and become the person you really are. You just have to take the first step!
