god I really dont understand this “you cant take ADDICTIVE DRUGS for depression or other brain problems because then you will be DEPENDENT on them”

like, umm

lots of people with chronic health conditions are dependent on drugs.

if it relieves their pain and helps them live their life in ways that they want to be able to, WHO CARES?????

like, I  get that with some people mental illness is not a lifelong thing - some people have relatively brief bouts of depression or something and they get treated for it and it goes away! yeah you probably wouldnt want to use these drugs for that. but theres this bizarre idea that people with really severe chronic brain problems should just use medication IF THEY ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO, TO GET THEM BACK ON THEIR FEET, and then… go off it again once theyre ~~normal~~ and its like

ok

nothing works that way

go suck an egg.

honestly if i had to choose

i’d rather be addicted to something than feel like i want to off myself on a regular basis

just

you know

33. shhhmagpie said: oh no something is helping you be functional? It’s far better for you to go without it than become an ~*addict*~. i rememeber being pressured to go off my meds after a year of finally feeling human again and SURPRISE going off them messed me up.
