You should go to the doctors and say you want other solutions than being put on meds. They should be able to refer you to someone to talk to

Answer

go to a psycologist. its technically a doctor but theu wont put you on medication. theyll help you talk through it and can give you ways to cope with out the medication if you dont want it

Answer

Go to the doctors, get some blood work done incase you're deficient of some vitamin. I had REALLY bad anxiety, talked to my doctor about it was put on 2 different kinds of meds (Celexa made me gain so much weight, Zoloft made me crazy) I then decided to stop taking them and got blood work done and it turned out I was vitamin D deficient with a level 8 which is considered EXTREMELY severe. So the doctor quickly gave me prescription for megadoses of D3, I then felt SO much better! What also helped was figuring out what triggered my anxiety/depression. Caffeine, sugary, junk food and foods with high sodium content give me panic attacks! Try avoiding those for a week to see if you feel better 🙂
