Comicgeek --what about taking one step at a time, but starting first and foremost with focusing on therapy -individual and group if you can?
I've seen you suffer through a great deal of anxiety, self-loathing, eating/body image... As a big a hill as it may seem right now to climb, why don't you throw yourself into therapy and consider the possibility of waiting on the meds. Not because they'll mess with your brain, or take away your clarity of thought or emotion, but because the issue itself is causing so much anxiety and upheaval and enough of your issues I really think could be addressed by and helped with therapy. Down the road, with time, maybe you could revisit the idea of meds --or not.
Do you think that would work? Put aside the meds for the time being, the very idea of them, and move on to working on yourself, your self-worth, your studies, your place in the world...?
