Hi, Broken, welcome to PsychCentral (PC). I don't think there are any silly questions, yours certainly don't strike me that way!

Medication has helped a lot of people who have been diagnosed as you have been. However, because we're individuals, we can't know if medication will help us unless we try it. If you are unsure, I would talk further with your psychiatrist about that. Do you have a therapist? How have you been working on your issues in the past and has whatever you've been trying helped?

If you don't like the medication idea, I'd see what else is out there to try for issues like yours and try some of them, see if they work! I would maybe keep a journal, make sure I don't feel I'm getting any "worse" and try a few other things and save the medication idea for later. Medication can help as a "booster" to other means as it adjusts physical, neurochemical aspects of our body so there isn't as much "difference" to work with at once if your issues aren't obvious lifestyle or situational/life experience ones. But I don't know your situation so don't know if you've tried therapy, lifestyle changes (eating better, exercise), or other things.
