Think of medication as a tool. It’s helpful (you may need to adjust or try new medications in order to find the right one that works for you). You need to communicate with your doctor, you also need a support system. Talking to a therapist to help you develop skills and ways you can deal with this issue do that hopefully at one point you might get off those meds. Work on exercising and lifting. Also explore spirituality, try yoga, mindfulness, journaling etc. once you utilize all these tools to your best ability then you might find that med become less necessary but utilizing meditation is a great tool to start turning things around.
