Hello, volatile. Medication to correct a chemical imbalance is a tool, not a crutch. People do no hesitate to take an antibiotic to fight an infection. Why view a useful tool to correct a brain dysfunction any differently?

Therapy is another tool. Therapy may help you better understand and hopefully resolve the battle going on in your head. Making changes that are beneficial may be scary. We have to take the risk of believing we can change beginning the process.

Having friends is evidence that you have many good qualities. Please believe in yourself and take the risk of getting better. Have your medications reviewed and start with therapy.

Good luck!
