I obviously do not know your concerns as it relates to medication. I realize everyone has their own reasons.
But based on how much pain you seem to be in - from what I have read on this board - you might really be doing yourself a disservice. It is really hard to work on things in therapy when the anxiety is through the roof (from my own experience). I can imagine it is also very difficult to be productive in therapy with some of the other feelings you experience.
I don't think medication is the answer for everything. Therapy is clearly important. But often medication can provide you some relief such you are in a position to really benefit from therapy. And since you are feeling some time pressure, this might be the time to consider medication.
Again, I realize not everyone is comfortable with medication. I am not saying it is the only solution. But it might be part of yours.
