I posted variants of this before, but what do you think of the pastors who say the devil attacks hardest before your breakthrough?

I had an anxiety disorder for over 10 years, and the year before I was cured, I had the worst problem I ever had in my entire life, it was so bad I considered suicide, but once I came out of it, I was many times stronger than I was before, and I was cured from anxiety issues for at least 10 years. That is when I went from a being coward who was afraid of not being liked, to being a confident person, who could smile, even if the entire world hated me.

And I had a lot of haters after my enemies made up lies about me to thousands of people at school. They got C's, did not study very hard, and had a lot of spare time on their hands, while I was busy trying to get straight A's and did not have time to socialize with others due to great ambition, so they had more friends than me, and gossiped about me more than I did about them.
