stop being so focused on yourself.

and you are right to think what you do about taking drugs.

i know, i use to be on drugs. they didnt help me. what helped me was helping other people, for no personal gain.

get some hobbies that produce something useful and people will suddenly start needing your help. build some stuff out in the garage. its very rewarding. i like woodworking, but lots of things will do. something not on the computer.

Counterpoint: Meds have probably saved my life. I know at least two other people who would say the same.

Meds don't work for everyone. Just because they didn't work for you doesn't mean they don't work for others. It's up to the doctor and his/her patient to determine the best course of treatment.

Intentionally stigmitizing medication is not only contributing to the problem... it can be downright dangerous. Any mental health professional will tell you that.

Your anti-medication rhetoric throughout this thread is not useful. Please reconsider your approach.
