Welcome to PC. There really are some wonderful people here and there are many who will understand or can empathize with everything you mentioned.
I have been seeing my T for a while now.....no meds at all, I have an issue with meds(my body adapts to them too quickly) so they are useless...even OTC's don't work for more than a cple days.
Sometimes however meds are necessary & for some they are the best thing that ever happened. You said you are willing to try anything so my suggestion is to just talk to your Dr. tell him that you feel that emotionally you some need help to cope with your stress & that you are initially not interested in meds, but don't write them off completely, see what he suggests.
There is nothing wrong with asking for help when you need it, I am 40yrs old and can't deal with regular life sometimes so I post from experience lol
Hope I helped even just a little.
