I guess I'm the exception.

I'm not medicated. The only control I have over my life is by doing exactly this; making things into habits. I'm a creature of habit and I'm on autopilot most of the time. Integrating daily challenges into that autopilot mode has changed my life.

I'm medicated but I've formed habits unmedicated because those habits had to compensate for the meds I couldn't afford. Diet and exercise. I'm constantly invalidated by communities like this which just isolates me further. I've been told my issues aren't severe by strangers. Mental health meme communities are toxic and I can't wait until people start realizing that. I can't stand tHaNkSiMcUrEd because it went from pointing out "smile more it will make you happy" and how stupid that is to making fun of self help entirely.
