And I know this probably goes without saying, but we also shouldn't be too quick to judge people just because they are medicated. I fought going on to anti-depressants - fought it big time. But after a while, I came to realize that I could not function without them. I spent a lot of time in therapy and after a while, it just became apparent that the issues were not emotional ones (though some might argue otherwise, but I digress), but simply chemical imbalance issues in my brain.
It actually took a couple of years to find the right balance of meds and strengths, but I have been on the same combination for a couple of years now.
What I came to realize is that anti-depressants are to me like insulin is to a diabetic. It sucks that I have to take them, but there are just a part of my life. I can choose to accept it and move on, or dwell on it and allow the situation to ruin my life. I chose the former.
