I think maybe medication is all a mind ****. I think that maybe someone telling you this will make you feel better, and you having the mindset that it will, it "will". When in reality you won't? I don't know, that's what my head has come up with and I can't seem to shake it.

Sometimes we don't always remember how bad things are when we're feeling better, some professionals refer to it as 'insight' if you think that's the case, maybe your judgement about whether medication is a good idea is better when you're experiencing such difficult symptoms. Would it help to write down what you think then and maybe use it to help you when your symptoms are not there. Do you wish to continue living the way you are now? Even when feeling awful? If not, medication may be what you need to kickstart a change for the better. The decision to try medication is possible to change, though you usually have to take it properly for at least a month to know whether it helps and that might mean making yourself stick to the plan even when the symptoms aren't there. If you had a really bad headache that kept coming back and stopped you doing what you need to and it needed regular medicine to keep it away, would you take it of live in bed with crippling headaches? Mental health issues can be just as disabling and we seem to think we need to manage alone.
Just a thought
