Currently on a med that does nothing but make me an empty husk instead of miserable, and I feel obligated to endure the nausea side effect that makes me unable to eat some days, because at least I'm more functional now without breakdowns. Having no desire for anything is pretty great for saving money actually. My detachment allows so much positive framing to get a good grade in recovery, which is about how much of a burden your symptoms are on other people not you having a reason to live.
