I think Venus is right, and also choosing to take your meds or not take your meds is a choice. Maybe if you see it as a choice instead of a need or "have" to, maybe it will be easier for you to accept. No one likes feeling backed in a corner or like their are no choices. No one likes to feel like that are sort of being forced to do something.

It makes us feels powerless, and helpless, but we do have quite a bit of power and help available to us. Viewing it as a choice, and one that you make vs. a need or "have" to might help give you a sense of empowerment with whichever methods you choose, while you are making them.
