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

im the same

If you think it is possible to calm your emotions without medication then perhaps it would be helpful to do some research on how to accomplish that.

Everyone is different and every situation has its own unique circumstances, it would be absolutely unfair to compare different criteria together...

It depends if you have biochemical imbalance in the brain, how severe it is and how good your support group is.

Everyone is different and you should try to accept it, as it will help. Also, if possible don't compare yourself to others. Humans have this innate tendency to do so and it's quite hard to resist to it, but at the same time constantly comparing is quite unhelpful most of the time, including in this situation. Instead, try to seek self-awareness and look to know yourself more. With time hopefully you can decrease and even not need to keep taking medication, but even if you have to do so the most important thing is that you feel well, safe and stable.

Because the other people are just as reliant on those medications as you. The medicine you take supplies you with something, something in your brain. Something those "others" were born with. They're exactly as reliant on these chemicals, it's just that their bodies supply it while yours requires a pill to do that. It's not your fault that your body doesn't produce those chemicals. It's like saying that people born without arms shouldn't get a mechanical one. Just because you were born, or lost something natural, doesn't mean you should have to live without it. We're all reliant on the same things, just some come in pill form.

Unfortunately, some people require a little support from medication to help balance their feelings. For example, my depression is caused by decreased production of a neurotransmitter called serotonin. I require assistance from a type of anti-depressant called an SSRI (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor). These help me to maintain more balanced emotions. many people occasionally require help or may permanently need this help but regardless of when you need medication or not this does not make you any more or less of a person, either way this is normal and there is no need to feel embarrassed or ashamed of this need.

Everyone has different brain chemistry. It's okay to be different. That said, not everyone's brain works the same way, and some of us need help with processing certain things. Sometimes taking medications helps some folks-- and that's just the equivalent of store bought items because you don't have from scratch. Nothing to be ashamed about, and the important thing is at the end of the day that you're taking steps to be your best and healthiest self. I know sometimes our bodies dont necessarily process how we'd like them to. ..but it doesn't make them defective, just different. I take medication to help with my anxiety and am grateful such things exist for those of us who have challenges navigating life with our different brains.
