it seems as if you’ve been spoon-fed medications left and right your whole life and have been told that you are incapable of doing anything on your own without medicinal aid.

you said it yourself in the very first sentence……

everyone else is telling you what to do/expect in your life….
only YOU can decide if you can manage without the additives

sure its hard… and i know there are many chemical issues we do not yet understand, but its a serious question that you have to pose to yourself if you want out of this ridiculous cycle they have put you in.

Case in point for a period of 4yrs. I didn't have to be hospitalized because they had me on a medication that did a descent job of giving me back the motivation to make something of my life. 4yrs. of not having to be shot by police with a taser and chaptered into a mental health unit or state institution, all because Dr.'s reserve the right to decide whether my life is going to be on hold for decades. I was doing fine academically while on Ritalin, but I developed depressive symptom's because let's face it Ritalin at that time was pretty much prescribed Cocain and just harmful especially after being on it ten years; however that's not the decade im concerned with. During my senior year they stopped treating me for A.D.D. and began treating me for Depression which isn't nearly as destructive as the A.D.D. is considering all the debt I'm in now. What should I do? What to do if a mental health condition is tearing my life apart in a debilitating manner?
