It doesn't have to be the only answer, but it could be part of the answer, for now. Taking meds is temporary for some. Combined with therapy, it can be something very helpful.

It is of course up to you. It must not feel good to have others pressing you to take pills.
Putting that aside, what if you thought of only the affect on you. What if you felt better?

Thinking of feeling better can be a wonderful thought and it can be a scary thought, too. If I feel better - then what? Who am I, if I'm no longer the destructive, negative thinking person? What expectations will others have of me?

You could try it as an experiment and see how it goes. You can always change your mind down the road.
