Forget those idiots who worry about "their" tax dollars. Some people just don't understand how real mental disorders are and how much a lot of us have gone through to get to this point. Do whatever you need to do to make yourself feel better.
I haven't been on meds but I am on the verge of going to see a therapist and possibly getting on some. I don't feel normal at all and I am constantly having panic attacks. It is pretty scary.
However I do think about the fact that I can't naturally get over my situation and that I would need meds to better myself. I also think about having to refill the prescriptions and all the head aches and stress that will come with having to constantly supply myself with medication. I tend to think too much I guess.
You said you're not suicidal anymore so you must be doing something right

We will overcome this *****.
