For me I was not born depressed. I was born fine.
But they had wanted a boy. My crime. I was a girl, a disappointment.
Another girl

So all my life mother told me 'If it wasn't for you we'd be fine'
Everything was my fault. How I hated myself, ashamed, embarrassed, how useless I was!
Oh. I wanted to disappear and I tried so hard to do just that.
I was silent.

I tried so hard to please. But I never could.

Is it chemical based. Yes I think so, all those years of rejection, no affection, fearful, treading on eggshells, causes fear, fear of pretty much everything. A hightened 'flight or fight' response.

In my case I believe mother caused my OCD, social phobia, panic attacks and crippling depression.
Yup. It's all her fault. Because of her I will never be the person I should have been.
