Imagine waking up every day knowing how hard just everything is going to be, how it's going to take every ounce of effort you have to be and act the way you want to, like carrying 100 pounds on your shoulders from the moment you wake up to the moment you go to sleep.
Now imagine taking a pill and that burden is just...gone. You get up in the morning, and things are fine. Something happens on the way to work, or at work, or your kids just do some dumb kid shit when you get home from work and, rather than having to have one more thing on that giant burden you've gotten used to carrying around that puts you over the edge, it's just one thing. You deal with it and move on.
That's what being on antidepressants was like for me. I'd wake up and be in a good mood for no damned reason. Bad stuff would happen and I wouldn't be upset for the day, or the week. I loved being on antidepressants. And when it got to the point where nothing was bothering me nearly as much as it should have, I talked to my doctor and got my dosage reduced, then eventually stopped my prescription altogether. Taking that medication for 5 years was the best thing I could have done, and I wish I'd done it at least a decade sooner.
This may not be how it turns out for everyone, but don't stigmatize taking pills just because of some perceived weakness or dependence. Sometimes it's exactly the right choice. Sometimes psychedelics may be the right choice. Everyone is different, and will need different tools to help them deal with their stuff.
