Emily, 42
I've always run a bit blue. I took birth control for ten years until a major break up had me reevaluating all my life choices. Once I stopped taking the pill I realized HOW MUCH it had worsened my depression. I wonder how different my life would be if I hadn't spent a decade considering suicide.
