 I think my depression stems from my childhood abuse growing up, and yes, I'm on medication, so does that make me bad less of a person? No, it doesn't make you bad or less of a person if you're on medication. It just means that you're buying into the system, and the system isn't designed to make you better. The system is designed to keep you hooked on the system, and so you're hooked on the system, and you're going to stay hooked on the system as long as you're on medication. If I were you, I would change the way that I'm feeling so that I didn't need to be on medication, and you can do that as long as there's not some kind of actual chemical imbalance that's going on in your brain. I'm not a doctor. I'm not trying to give you any kind of medical advice or anything like that, but what I would say is that unless you have some kind of actual chemical imbalance going on in your brain, then what you're probably going to be doing is just setting yourself up to be hooked on this chemical dependence that you have and being stuck in that pattern over and over and over again.
