going on meds

hi all, newly diagnosed (we don’t know if 1 or 2 yet apparently) and my therapist is soft-recommending that I go on meds. the issue is that meds sound awful. they sound like they’re the worst even from the people who willingly take them.

I’ve never done anything particularly life-destroying—a few hundred dollars burned, got snippy with a friend while (hypo?)manic, small reckless decisions. no psychosis. are meds worth it?

thank y’all
