It keeps me sane
But still sucks

@Chiara

Well I have to tough it out then
You do NOT want to see me off them lol?
Given I have blah blah blah
Diagnosis it only seems fair....

I kind of need them but I refuse to take them. It makes life a lot harder but I don't like things which alter my brain chemistry, it makes me feel unnatural and not like myself.

I also think that sometimes they mask the symptoms so well that we forget to work on the root cause of them.

I don't disagree with them entirely, but I also think we live in a system that pushes us to take drugs too early, before exploring other options, drugs should be a last resort.

Sometimes I think I'm living life on hard mode but I never backed down from a challenge.

Fair

I ve been institutionalized more than 8 times
Due to psychosis and suicidal urges
I havent been for ages after

Also the stigma surrounding mental illness is very annoying

I'm sorry you went through that. If the medications keep you safe you should definitely be taking them.

Honesty is a very good medication against stigmas.

I was in a denial for a long while
Admitting I was unwell took all my strength mentally and emotionally
I try to deal with it everyday

True and as long as it helps. Good thing
I knew someone that ultimately stopped taking their meds
And he is crazy and insane imo

Depends on the individual
