You are welcome and thank you for reading 🙏🍦 My experience was a side effect of a medication that I took that induced this violent reaction to harm myself. My behavior was not the result of depression although I know that depression can also create the same impulse. I think it is important to explain the difference so that people are aware of it, that a medication can trigger such unfamiliar and unwelcome thoughts and behaviors so they can take appropriate action.
Thank you for this beautifully written story. I am SO glad you came out of things better than when you went in, and that you are still with us. You are lovable and valuable, as are we all. I have depression myself, but I control it with medication that, fortunately, works okay.
Brave, compelling, and very well written. Needs to reach as wide an audience as possible — for those who need help and for those who need to understand.
Thank you 🙏🍦 Please share with anyone you think would appreciate it.

I was very moved by this piece. It was gritty, real and inspiring.
Magnificent. Thanks for fighting back against that chemically induced psychosis. This world needs you.
Thank you for sharing, so happy you fought!
