I speak about my harrowing, dramatic personal story. I lived with depression, suicide attempts and have studied masculinity for  more than thirty-seven years. My diagnosed condition of 'severe depressive disorder that is recurring' was the reason that I abused marijuana, that I had the knife in my hand in order to slit  my wrists and bleed out. This condition ruined my business and personal relationships, and retarded my growth as a human being.
