do you take psych pills?

I put no, never. My black moods are part of my charm...

I monitor my alcohol use pretty closely, I know I like it too much.

Interesting. Another reason I refuse meds: my creativity stems directly from my issues. I don't want it to go away.

My camera is my therapy.

There really is nothing pretty about my moods but my reasons for living with them are similar to yours. I don't want to lose "me" in the process of becoming a socially acceptable person. Beyond the psych pills, I'm getting off of meds of all kinds now that I've reached middle age. I really don't want to end up over-medicated when I'm an oldster. Does it say something about us/me that I feel the need to explain why I don't med-up?

It says you have valid and interesting input on this thread. Also that you don't want other people assuming you disapprove of their medication and sharing the fact that you have chosen alternative methods of coping.

I think anyway.

I'm definitely not saying adults shouldn't be free to decide what works for them. What we are doing to our children is a whole other thread.
