During the winter vacation last year, I developed severe depression due to the changes in my life. I had no appetite and no desire to eat. My life fell into darkness. I lost a lot of weight because I had no appetite. I sat in the sun every day and didn't want to talk, or I sat in bed, covered with a quilt, motionless. My mind felt like it was covered with dark clouds all day. I felt that my condition was very bad. I even felt dazed sometimes when I walked (I suspected that I had hypoglycemia at that time). This kind of day lasted for a long time.

One afternoon, I was covered with a quilt as usual. In a trance, I felt that my body was out of control. I thought at the time that I was too malnourished. Then, I gradually flew out of my body. It felt so slow that I could see everything in the room clearly. I was about to hit the roof, but I passed through it.

After I left my body, my body was no longer tired as before, and I felt relaxed. The depression was gone, just like my usual self.

After I passed through the roof, what came into my sight was not the sky, but darkness. I felt very overwhelmed. As I continued to rise, I began to see a light above me. As I got closer, I found that it looked more like an exit. I seemed to be in a small box, with no light around me except the exit. I passed through the exit and found a bright place. The feeling of rising also disappeared, but I did not fall down. I floated steadily above the exit.

I began to move forward and looked around. That place looked like a paradise, beautiful and pleasing to the eye. I did not walk with my legs. My body turned into a form that I could not describe. Was it light? Or something else? After I walked a few steps, I met a person with the same form as me. I could not tell the gender (so I use “the soul” instead). The soul conveyed knowledge to me. I learned about the universe and life, but I can't remember it accurately now. Our communication was not through sound. It was as if we had the same thoughts. The soul took me forward and walked to a boundary.

I could not see the place in front of me. It was very vague to me. Suddenly, the soul disappeared. I suddenly felt a strong power, very warm, and lingering. I felt that I was integrated with it. In this way, I indulged in warmth.

Suddenly, a voice came from my mind, saying that it was not the time for you to come yet, and you had to go back. I didn't want to go back, but before I could answer, I lost consciousness, and when I woke up again, I was in my bed. I thought it was my hallucination, but it felt real. 

Since then, my depression has disappeared, and I have begun to embrace life more actively and complete my studies.
