Don't think you're better than them or you're not the bad case. You'll feel so much better with them that the downsides are 100% worth it.

You can get off them when you were able to deal with the problems. You've suffered enough.

After 3 years of jumping around meds all of which did nothing. I’ve finally found one that works for me. If the meds arent working talk to your doctor about trying a different one. I’ve been on every major ssri and several iterations of combinations of them before we figured it out.

Great! Just to stress this, most people don't have trouble finding one that works

Anything that can help you deal with depression is awesome. Both therapy and medication helped me a lot.
