I have to take psychiatric medication (right now Bupropion)— which I believe is in the top 20 prescriptions in the United States— so the part of my brain seeking emotional validation does not hijack my cognition.
Prior to years of therapy and extensive exploration of medications, I was simply not able avoid being jaded, impatient, acerbic and illogical with the intensity of my fears and nonstop parade of deeply felt betrayals.
All that is still in me, but I’m no longer drowning in it. I no longer have to take a back seat and watch it express hurt and sometimes be hurtful.
