I'd like to piggyback and say that while a psychiatrist CAN prescribe meds, they're not necessarily going to force them on you. When my doctor first suggested it, he said I didn't have to decide right then if I wanted to take them or not--I could wait until my next appointment, and even then, the choice was still mine. My next appointment wasn't for another three weeks, so despite the fact that I wasn't keen on taking meds, I was grasping for anything to help. I knew I wouldn't make it for another three weeks without something, so I opted to try the medicine. I could have said no, and even though I am in the military and my doc outranked me by quite a bit, he wasn't going to order me to take them.
Whether it's professional help or not, I hope you're able to maintain the support system you say you've got, gothicmormon. Best of luck.
