Why do I need medication to calm my emotions when others can do it without?

Why does a diabetic person need to inject insulin when other people produce their own insulin? Why do I have pimples despite using prescription acne medications? Why does my sister need a stepping stool to reach tall shelves? The answer is the same in all cases. Every person is different, and our bodies work differently. Diabetic people don't make enough insulin. My body makes too many pimples. And my sister is just shorter than average. It makes us who we are, it makes the world interesting. Do I wish I didn't have pimples? Of course, that's why I use medication. We all have strengths and weaknesses. We are lucky to live in a world with stepping stools for short people, insulin for diabetic people, and medications for all kinds of problems. You should never be ashamed to seek help for your weaknesses, and you should always be proud of your strengths. Nobody is perfect in every way, and everybody needs help and tools to live their best life.

Some people need a little bit of extra help. That's all there is to it. It doesn't mean you are any less. It doesn't mean you don't have the ability or strength that others do. Medication just helps you in the way that you can't yourself. But since you are taking the medication, you are and can help yourself.

Sometimes medication can be a bridge between the place that you're at and the place you want to be. It's not a sign of weakness; it's a sign that you need a little extra help. And honestly, it can change your life to see a little more clearly where you want to be. Does that ring true for you?

Because your brain is specially designed to be more sensitive than some and that's both good and bad , the good part is you have feelings ! You aren't a rock that feels nothing like some people and that's awesome but the bad part is it may hinder you from other things in your life and that's why you take medication to help you better manage your emotions so your still as sensitive so you can control the outcome emotions without losing your feelings

Never feel embarrassed or ashamed about taking medications to help you. Some people can cope with situations and feeling as well as stress better then other. Medications are not for everyone anyway that's why the world has so many kinds of medications for so many type of ailments.

some people go through emotions differently. some more easier then others. some people need help with medication and others can mange their emotions. its okay if you take meds.

Many people often wonder this exact question, so if you take medication to function - you are not alone. Needing medication is not a character flaw, it is actually entirely chemical within your brain and is not something people can choose to happen or not. The fact is that some people can calm their emotions without medication, and others can calm their emotions with the help of medication. Receiving help like this is nothing to be ashamed of, and it should actually be seen as a positive step you have taken by bettering yourself with a healthy routine.

Everyone is different, some people's emotions are stronger than others and everyones brain works differently. It does not mean anything is wrong with you, just that you're different. Many people need medication as well so no need to be ashamed

Everyone is different, and everyone experiences distress differently. If your distress is so strong that a professional has recommended medication, then it's through no fault of your own. Mental illness is never one size fits all. A solution that works for one person may not work for the next and if medication works for you, then there is nothing to be ashamed of.

Taking medication to help regulate your emotions doesn't mean that you're failing in an area where others succeed. Our brains are different, and we take care of ourselves accordingly. I had a similar question once, and I asked a mentor of mine about it. They said to me, "You know I have a prosthetic leg. If I asked you, 'why do I need this to walk when other people can do it without a prosthetic leg', what would you say to me? Would you tell me I was weak for relying on a crutch?" It was a eureka moment for me. We spoke about the stigma surrounding mental illness, and how there's still so much for people to learn. Taking medication to help us live our lives doesn't mean we're weak. It's like taking medicine for any sort of ailment that would help us to live better.
