1. I've been in therapy off and on for 5 years.
2. I initially started therapy due to an unsuccessful suicide attempt, though I didn't tell anyone about that until later sessions. My symptoms are depression and anxiety.
3. I think the origins are biopsychosocial. Depression runs in my family, but I also suffered abuse during my childhood.
4. I haven't succeeded with therapy yet.

It is said an Eastern monarch once charged his wise men to invent him a sentence, to be ever in view, and which should be true and appropriate in all times and situations. They presented him the words: "And this, too, shall pass away." How much it expresses! How chastening in the hour of pride! How consoling in the depths of affliction!
