I've considered getting on medication, even very recently, but I'm typically able to keep my shit under control most of the time these days. I think years back before I learned how to handle stuff, meds would have been really good for me.

It just depends, a lot of people are on it and don't need it, and a lot of people it helps.

Don't look at meds as a way to keep things under control, look at them as a way to ease a burden on you. It's not whether you need them or not, but whether they'd help.

I wish I could learn how to slow my brain down without medication. Some nights my thoughts race so fast that I cant get to sleep for hours.

Look into mindful meditation, it's something I try to do every morning and night, and it has honestly helped so much.

That, and controlled breathing exercises from meditation can be done at any time in your day to kind of slow things down.

Meditation is seriously underrated, the only caveat is that you HAVE to practice it. It's like any other skill, and if you only try meditating when you need it, it's not going to be nearly as effective. Dedicate a few minutes a day to meditation.
