5. Modern meds work well enough for me.

Off my meds I'm a feral homeless human, a harmless guy in the library.

My OCD always overpowers my deep dark black hole depression.

Been there, done that, and built enough of social support systems that I (hopefully!) avoid that state.

Hunter running down the highway with bloody bare feet and one piece of clothing covering my "naughty bits" is not a mental state I ever wish to repeat.

But looking for my clothes on the beach, stark naked, among many piles of washed up kelp, an hour or two past past midnight, with the help of a cop who'd been called because someone had thought I was suicidal and trying to drown myself, that's a priceless story.

I wasn't in any way suicidal. I was body surfing naked. At the time it seemed like the interesting thing to do.
