This argument of if medications really help has gone on forever and it'll still go on after I post this. I think it's not just a question of if you need medications for a mental illness or not but if you the person wants to be medicated. I think the real problem is mental illnesses seem to come in packages! Which at the end of the day makes it very hard on those who have to figure out what we have. Then there is one drug might work great for one illness were for another it makes it worse. Then is how the mentally ill person wants to move forward. There are three ways in which that can be done.

One you can keep working with a Psychiatrist on finding the right medication and even then it might not be perfect but it helps make your life easier. Two not to be medicated. Which at the end of the day takes a very strong person to do this. It's hard work but I'm in no way saying that it can't be done. Three you could find a balance of the two. Which is what I'm working on. I've been medicated, didn't ever know who I was not medicated, then not medicated for 15 years and now I'm back to being medicated. I believe that I'll find that balance over the next year or so I hope!

The reason I post this is I'm quite tired of the argument at the moment as I've had some pro no medication people come down on me. Not on here so much but in real life. I've never asked for approval but I somewhat feel like I need it. I don't know why! It's just my personality. All I know is that I was falling off the horse not medicated but now that I'm medicated I'm getting better at dealing with my life.
