I have a personal reason for being angry and I will share it. Overcoming depression is work. Counseling, therapy, medications etc. is work. Resigning to the fact that in some cases antidepressant medication is a lifetime necessity to function normally is work.
I have suffered from depression as well and need to take my meds every day for the rest of my life. (I've tried coming off - no go!) I've even been hospitalized for it. But I am also very lucky and blessed that I was able to overcome my depression. Yes, it was hard, so hard that I realize how lucky I am. To me, one of depressions best tricks is to make you think that there is no hope. It is impossible to know what is in someone's head when they make such a drastic and final decision. We can guess. There may be reasons, but there never is truly an explanation. So while I really wish he hadn't done what he did, and wish he hadn't tried to make it look like a line of duty killing, etc...he did what he did for reasons only he could know or understand, or perhaps he may not have even understood.
I think we will know more tomorrow. I am looking forward to the presser and hopefully more facts.
