Definitely seek help through a therapist. They will talk to you and help you realize you're not alone and can be helped. Also, know that medications saved my life. If that's the way you need to go then don't be afraid to go there.

I’ve found that people in general want to work in their wheelhouse. If a person can write a prescription then in trying to be helpful that’s what they’ll do. If a person is a listener that’s what they’ll do. My primary doctor is absolutely fantastic… from the neck down. We have a great rapport and are wholly honest. I worked in mental health for some time and it was clear to both of us that he is an M.D. and when I need help from the neck up, then I run my thoughts by him but really as an outside perspective, and if it sounds good, move forward, if it sounds well you know, then I get in touch with my other doctor. The P.h.D variety. However all of my medical/mental heath team are connected at my demand. I gather all the waivers and get them filled out and returned to the agencies. I do this for accountability yes. But I have no clue how a person can expect to see two or more professionals that approach things in drastically different ways, and expect any real tangible positivity to happen. I demand their communication with everyone at the onset. If that’s not something they are willing to participate in, that’s totally fine. I continue to look and research until I find that fit 👍. I guess to put this into perspective, in my younger life I spent more time and energy to find a barber than my medical professionals… your can guess as to why it took me into my 30’s to gain a real foothold to any treatment plan. Good luck and remain honest.

I totally understand I don't like taking pills but, I don't eat right so I have to. I also have teen children. I get the fear of finding doctors. Know that a P.A. is trained to treat the symptoms, so you have anxiety here is what you need for that. Other licenses are taught differently, (i can't remember them) If you need to be treated for something, just look into the appropriate degree for you. Nice to meet u. 😊

You're definitely not alone! A lot of people are adverse to taking pills because of how it's affected others in their life. I know you said you've tried therapy before and that is a thing of not everyone's going to be the right fit, so in my opinion, Id look for someone who specializes in what you're dealing with. Of course though, that's not for everyone, it helps me doing research on my disorders & symptoms, listening to others who struggle with the same type of things, and confiding in friends to make sure I don't get too wrapped up and suffocated in it all. I hope everyone here can help you some <3

Well you're not alone. We actually have a lot in common. I'm sorry that happened to you.
