It's frustrating that being unmedicated your voice is dismissed, bcoz a) You're obviously on a self-destructive path b) you don't know real suffering or c) you're luring people onto the wrong path.
I like the fact that the writer said she has a will, it's how I feel. I have a will, I matter. Personally my experience with meds taught me that meds do N0T improve your symptoms, just dull your natural response to them. I figured I could learn better responses instead of being chemically castrated, numb and riddled with side-effects. I'm not against meds, and if my symptoms present in a way that is disabling or dangerous to others, hell yeah I'd give them another shot. For now I'm fine just the way I am.
Great article, thanks for posting
