I Have A Disability But I Am Not Disabled

I was diagnosed with depression at age 13 and placed on some ancient little red pill. It might have been an old school tricyclic of sorts. It didn't help much except turn me into a zombie. Later in life I was put on norpramin which had the same result. In 2002 I was put on citalopram and that did help a bit for many years. But after so long it just quit working and I ended up venting my life story and thoughts/problems in a 48 page document. Every since that document was written I haven't needed anything or any treatment for depression. It was a tough paper to write, but I immediately felt better than I have in years. In my case, I just needed to get everything out. PTSD is less evident, talking about things does help, and I think I'm ok to handle life without medications. Can't speak for anyone else, but I do think many people are on disability who don't really need to be.
