Any advice? Please

I have severe anxiety and "psychosis"(that's what my doctor called it, I call it hallucinations) on top of autism but I have no psychiatrist right now, only a therapist who cannot give me my meds. My doctor stopped prescribing them to me because of symptoms of psychosis. She said she did not feel comfortable being responsible for my medication. I was on Ativan, Zoloft, Trileptal, and Geodon but I was cut off of everything at the same time. My anxiety has been so bad I have frequent panic attacks and things like using the bathroom, showering, any physical sensations for the most part, and leaving the house cause a lot of stress for me. My sensory issues have gotten much worse as well. It is causing some issues with my family and friendships as well. I have stressed out my best friend to the point that he doesn't want to be around me. My mom won't even talk to me at all. My dad is very frustrated as well and I'm nervous to even talk to him because we had such a huge fight yesterday. I only have a FWB not a boyfriend but I'm terrified of physical sensations(like I mentioned) so that isn't something I want anything to do with right now, but I do like hi as a friend and I would still like to hang out as friends but that doesn't really happen much. On top of everything, I'm becoming extremely depressed. My parents want me to go into a hospital or in patient program but I am against it. What should I do?

Your support network is starting to break down. This is bad. You don't want to alienate everyone who would otherwise care for you. Take your parents' advice and spend a couple weeks in a hospital. Just make the effort, for the sanity of your remaining friends and family.

This is from someone who's totaled a year in hospitals. A hospital may seem scary, but it's actually just a boring journey back to normalcy.

I have actually spent time in the hospital before and it was pretty terrible. I might consider it though. But my therapist doesn't think a hospital would be a good place because I'm not in danger right now. She is kind of wanting to get me into a housing program so I can move out but that seems really scary. I'm just afraid my dad is gonna not want me to live here anymore soon.
