I have an analogy in agreement with ariennette. Yes life has stuff in it that we all have to do but we don't have to like. The example I use is that I really don't like stopping at traffic lights. It interrupts the flow of my driving and delays me. However if the light is red and I decide not to stop it potentially causes a whole bunch of other problems which are way more serious, very risky and involve a bunch more people.
I have to use this example nearly every day when it comes to meds for myself especially when I feel stable and am functioning well, because I resent having to take meds to maintain that. However if I don't and I get worse again that sets my whole life and recovery back a long way.
