I'm really depressed about how much pills I have to take.

I was diagnosed 9 months ago. I was exactly in your position because what I thought of taking in so many pills a day is a symbol of unhealthy. Well yeah we're sick. So pill are there to help us. Taking pills is now part of my life/our lives and this routine and I are getting along. I know it bloody sucks, especially when you have school work to take care of.. but we can only move on and try our best to stay positive.

I can only wish you the best. I myself am still struggling other changes in life like fatigue that is greatly affecting my social life. It sucks but we'll get through it. Once you're in remission the meds will be stopped. You'll make it there.
