Struggling to Take Medication for My Mental Health

I have borderline personality disorder, depression, and anxiety. I am having a really hard time taking my medication every day, I know I need it to get better and to be a better person for everybody else, yet every time I go to take them every part of my body, soul, and mind tell me to not do it. I really don't get it because I want to be able to take it without feeling like I don't want to. I regularly go through periods where I just don't want to take them or feel like I physically can't. does anybody else feel like this? if so how do you cope with it?

You're not alone in this feeling as this is a frequent occurrence for me. Usually when i skip my meds, i begin to notice a difference in my behavior. This causes me to feel an imbalance in my character, and it further intensifies my negative thoughts/emotions. By that time, I figure it'd be in my best interest to take my meds rather than avoid them. After all, if you actively care about your environment, you want to ensure that you're the best version of yourself you know to be. And while it isn't ideal, these meds provide us the cognitive tools necessary to be our best selves. Hope this helps.
