as a kid, aged 5 and 6 I had to wear a leg brace that included special shoes a metal frame covered in padded leather which went higher than my waist and covered my left leg.
I had to be strapped into this thing every day, although for a short time before my parents awoke I could hop on my right foot if I needed to do something.
Being strapped in (so I did not prevent healing of my leg and hip damaged in an accident) was normal for my younger self.
Eventually I learned how to walk without it after healing. I was so happy not to be strapped in, but I never quite got used to being "like" everyone else.
In a way, I am still strapped in to that brace so long ago.
I think that psych meds are a bit like that brace which I wore for a while, It straps you into a form that does not interfere with life's flow at a certain stage.
When you get past that stage, it is good not to be strapped in any more, but in memory, you will always be a bit strapped in.
