So, I am not diagnosed with anxiety but I have felt throughout the years that I definitely had it and this year it has gotten so bad I decided to seek some help.   


I went to my first therapy session and the therapist read the paperwork I filled out (the questionnaire), said 'you scored very high on this', and immediately suggested medications in the first 15 minutes of it. Like, before I was able to tell her about my past or anything like that. Is that...normal? I told her I prefer to work on things before taking meds and she said that it's just a suggestion but my anxiety seems so high that I would benefit from medications because some people can't focus on working on themselves while scoring so high on the questionnaire.
