Hello dayday1,
You really do not need to go back to meds.
Here are a couple of things that have really helped. Choose one or both depending on what is your preference on convenience
1) Not sure if you've come across this - There is something known as Solutions Focused Brief Therapy. This is quite popular, with many trained practitioners mostly in US and Europe, and I think in Australia as well. If you get a good person, you'll start seeing a difference in 4-5 sessions.
2) There is another very popular technique which is known to be effective. This is called the "one step" technique.
For this you do not need to go to any therapist - you can basically work on your own. Many have found this useful.
Perhaps you can combine the two also if that helps.
