Then we’ll see I guess. I would hate to have to start over with someone who doesn’t know me. She at least has seen the many shades of me, and I would hav a hard time explaining in words who I am. Probably would take another year! And who knows, the next one might say something worse

True. then I think take the advice above about speaking to her, asking questions, and telling how she made you feel.
Also, one way to conceptualize it is that our brains are different and the meds correct the disordered part to make as function more the way neurotypical people do. So it is not that every brain is the same and you are personally weak for needing the meds - no, the brains are different and you need the meds to, sort of, level off the playing field with others.
Also tell her that you are confused, since OTOH she recommend you see a psychiatrist but OTOH said what she said.
