I think you are moving in a positive direction, by seeking help, try not to be resistant to what the T has to say, and if possible give the meds a try along with talk therapy, many people can gain a lot by working with pdocs and or therapists, by doing nothing and building a wall around ourselves gets us nowhere.
I am happy to hear you are giving it a try, in fact proud of you for doing so

Please take care now,
