"Meds"

I need medication. This much has been clear since I was little.

As much as I need them, just the idea of gulping down pills like my mother, makes me break down.

I worry that I'll be different, or just not myself. It's not like "myself" is a good person though...

My own family suggested putting me in a mental institute. It felt like I had been dragged away kicking and yelling. At first I begged them not to. But now I feel like I should be put in one.

I know medication of some kind would help me. But I can't stand the idea of taking pills simply because I always feel sick and want to die.

Any therapist I go to will suggest some kind of medication. That's obvious.

I hate the idea of meds, but I can't help but want to randomly swallow all the random "pain-killers" my mom has in the medicine cabinet. Just to find out what they did to me.
