I think that you have very strong opinions - and that's a good thing. You're not one to sit on a fence and wonder, "well maybe, if only, and then if these conditions were right, and the moon was in the proper phase..." You know what you want. I would much rather be behind you in line at any store, than the person who is wanting to be persuaded, or guided, in one direction or another.
To me, it's not that you have black or white thinking, but you have a pretty clear idea of what it is you want and what you're trying to achieve. It's a good thing. To me that's saying that you're in touch with what your desires and goals are. At the same time, Racer, I've seen that you are open to ideas that will help you achieve your goals, even if they aren't what you originally had in mind. Yes, I'm biased, because I'm your friend. But I've seen it in action - we've gone shopping together.
Perhaps you can replay your conversation with your T with this in mind - she's trying to help you determine more closely what it is you're wanting to achieve with medication. And, I want to gently remind you that a T isn't the right person to make those recommendation unless they are also prescribing medications, right?
