I've decided to share just a little more about my history of depression. I have seen here that many have been kind enough to give a bit more details than I just shared so, I will tell you a bit more.
Mine became very out of control while taking medication. Not to say medication is bad, as I am sure it has helped many people. I had a doctor who was "prescription happy", for every new symptom there was a new pill for it. I took all the medication, and tried to keep up with it right, but there was just so much! I was like a zombie most of the time. I did things I would normally never do, had I not been influenced by the numbing affects of these medications. Some really bad things happened in my personal life. Things I just could not deal with, especially while so brain dead on all of this medicine. One day, I snapped. I had no control over what I was doing like I was watching a movie of myself. A horror movie. I will not go into the gruesome details as I know there are young people present, but I tried to take my life and almost succeeded. It's not "success", when a person takes their life, but I am sure you know what I meant. I am sure I am still suffering today from what I call a suicide attempt that back- fired. I didn't plan it; it just happened, and I couldn't stop myself from what Iwas doing. If you have thoughts, get help while you can. Don't wait until you have no control of what you are doing. Also, because I care, BEWARE OF "PRESCRIPTION HAPPY DOCTORS!!!". Mine almost killed me, and used my own hand to do it. I know I needed medication of some sort at that time, but all that I was on was unnecessary, and dangerous, said a doctor at Vanderbilt's University Medical Center, in Nashville, TN. So, I had a bad doctor giving me bad medicine, and had BAD results from it. Be careful about what you are being prescribed and ask for a second opinion. A third would not hurt.
