I really don't care about the drug or addiction when the alternative is not taking it and not remaining employed. For me I need medication to keep a job if I could. Have a fun and free-wheeling life without employment and without medication. I would totally do that but the reality is in this world you need a job to earn money for everyday life.

"It helps me stay in my golden cage" is what I tell my GFriend.

I don't give a shit about my job but it allowed me to buy a house, take vacations and sometimes buy an extensive toy.

I would gladly stay in my own world and daydream away, doing some woodworking and see birds in my garden but if I lose my job all that will go away.

So I take my ~3€/day pill and try to do my best. I've lost so many opportunities before getting diagnosed...

> doing some woodworking

I'd only manage that for about two days before giving up without the meds, heh
