I still go through periods when I am sick to death of taking meds twice a day, every day. Especially on Mondays when I have to fill up my pill boxes for the week! I hate being reminded all the time that I have a chronic mental health problem that can never be cured, only managed.

On the other hand, medications give me some control over my illness. I no longer spend myself into bankruptcy. I don't have those awful rages I used to have before I was diagnosed and medicated. Nor do I drive like a bat out of Hell singing at the top of my lungs to music that isn't playing on the car stereo. That's the part I try to remind myself of whenever I get tired of taking meds.
