    • Close Depression
      : Clinical (Major) Depression

      I was raised in a cult and one sister died a horrible death at age 7 without any medical help and my twin at 7 would have died if someoone had not stepped in. My parents asked a friend to stitch a 4 inch gash with bone loss in her head. I finally got out at age 35, but everyday is a battle to want to stay alive.
