It’s sort of funny..

My friends are all aware of how much I know about many medications, so often I have them asking me about them and effects, how safe they are, etc..

But it bothers me a lot if someone calls me a druggie.

That isn’t even remotely entertaining in the least bit.

I’m not.  Yes, I have been extremely medicated in my lifetime.

No, it hasn’t been fun.

I wish I never had to take any sort of drugs, but I was cursed with these genes.

But I wouldn’t ever trade it for a healthier life, I feel that I wouldn’t be the same person.  I would be much more bitter than I already am.  My kindness would never escape my internal organs.  I think experiencing many of the things I have already when I was younger has really changed my view on people in the world.  I try my best not to take anyone for granted.  You don’t understand how short life really is, you don’t.  Not until you visit your deathbed at least twice. 

It’s all about how you perceive your own situation at a certain point, there’s honestly no reason to sulk forever.  So you just handle it the best you can.
