don’t let anyone tell you that your life would be better without medication
don’t let people insinuate that a life without medication is ideal
don’t let people tell you that medications are only for “crazy” people
don’t let people tell you that you can do things without medications when medications are what make it possible for you to do those things
don’t let people tell you that you’re not “healthy” because you take medications
don’t let people insinuate that you are “giving up” by taking medications
don’t let people suggest that your goal should be to completely “recover” and get off your medications
don’t let people say that you’re “not being yourself” because you take meds
don’t let people say that you’ll “be yourself” if you go off your medications
don’t let people insinuate that you are bad for taking medications
You can make your own decisions about your health. Discussions about medications should be between you and your doctor, who I promise is more knowledgeable about this than the average person who is med-shaming.
