I believe some of us are born with the predisposition in our brains to be depressed and, if faced with too many stressful events, such as abuse while children, depression is the result. My Grandfather committed suicide and I was emotionally abused and neglected by my mom when I was a kid, not to mention my parents went through a very nasty divorce, so here I am, suffering from major depression, and considering suicide just like my Grandfather, anything to end the pain. I was taking my nighttime meds and I came so close to overdosing tonight.
