1 thing I learned is not to stop taking the medication because "I'm feeling better now, I think I'll do fine". It is rookie mistake.

I have accepted that my brain needed something extra just to make me able to function like regular people. At first it feels like I'm some sort of pussy that not able to rawdog the world. But then I realized, this pills are sort of 'crutches' for my mental - just like people with broken bones need external support. So it's nothing wrong needing to take medications to help with what you're lacking.

So far this time is the longest time I stick with the appointments - it has been a little more than a year and half now. First diagnosed probably a decade ago, with symptoms appearing way earlier than that. I can say for sure that I do definitely feeling better.
