I think that sort of thinking is going to get you into trouble. Choosing to go without meds is not "admirable" or "strong." It is a choice that is neither right or wrong. Also, everyone's disorder is a little different. Although some people can get by without meds, for some it would result in disaster. Some people with high blood pressure can control it through diet and exercise. Others need medication. Same here.

Don't tell yourself that you are weak for taking meds. If you need them you need them.

Best,
