These were the words my aunt will say to me oftentimes she visits. Why is taking meds so controversial when all of us take them at some point or another? Like I said previously I will get away from these people as soon as I’m able to and never see them again. Constant questions about why I’m not at work. It gets me down.
My aunt’s brother was schizophrenic. She was always skeptical of medications, the way many people end up being.
The last thing I can remember her saying before she passed, I was out of medication and didn’t wanna go to the hospital. She said ‘make sure he gets his medication’. It was the first time anyone in family acknowledged I actually needed it, and frankly the last thing I remember her saying before she passed.
Her son was at my house recently, we were smoking weed and I kinda had a breakdown moment where I cried and talked about how hard it was living with schizophrenia and literally nobody in the family even giving me the credit I have it but just denying it. It’s rough idk.
I don’t have to take medication, there’s no court order in place forcing me to take meds. It’s still my choice and I choose to take it. I take 10 mg every day but that might soon change.
