For years I tired to be someone else and ignore who I am. That resulted in going into a great depressive state, hindering me quite useless.

Easy now. It is an unfair, inaccurate and overly generalized conclusion that people are only looking to essentially erase/stop feeling who they are through meds. Neither is it a sure path to self-loathing.
Trying to be someone else will render most people useless. That's not about meds. It's about being inauthentic. Doesn't tend to work very well.
I'm glad you enjoy as much success as you do. Truly. It's just not necessary to lay non-med out as
the path simply because that's what works for you. It's not the magic solution any more than there exists a magic pill.
Different strokes for different folks. No need to put down other people or other ways in order to tell your story, that's all I'm saying. We're all in this together. Thanks for hearing me out.
