I don't think there's any other way than just telling him. It's probably better in the long run. Most likely nothing bad will happen if you do it.

by telling him 'no' then explaining when you stopped and why you lied.

this isnt rocket science. there isnt some trick to this. its literally answering the question

Just lie like a normal person.

this. if you tell him your anxiety is still bad but you don't want meds for it, he is obligated to respect that. you always have the right to refuse treatment unless it's a very extreme case, like someone who is flagrantly psychotic and trying to cut their own face off or some shit.

Are you open to psychological counseling? You probably need it, and your doctor might recommend it, but they most likely won't. They're more interested in popping pills into you, as they're trained to treat all health issues with drugs...even when it's not necessarily what's best for the patient.

I am open to counseling, yes. When I made an appointment four years ago for some anxiety I felt in college, I was simply offered Klonopin right off the bat. I never took them, though, drugs that affect the mind frighten me.

You don't have to take meds. They're also trained to put you on pills. Tell them you're not interested in medication. Unless they believe it's a necessity, they'll respect your choice. If they insist, you can always find another counselor.

4 years is too long, anon. You need to get help.

Thank you for the advice. I will try to talk to my doctor about getting a counselor, better now while I'm 24, then later when my best days are gone.

I'm not sure how much your doctor can help you with finding a counselor, but there are services out there that can. I'm glad you're going to see someone.
