It is possible to draft up your own Patent Application. There are many books out there to help you do just that such as "Patent It Yourself" by David Pressman. Another option is to get a low-cost Provisional Patent from the US Patent Office. It costs $100 and lets you claim Patent Pending for 12 months.
If you are too paranoid about your invention you are going to have a tough time. Use Confidentiality Agreements with everyone and always research companies before doing business with them.

Associations may be a good avenue to explore. These organizations will address many of the thoughts, questions and concerns you'll inevitably have as well as many you haven't anticipated yet. See the source box for some relevant links.
Hope that helps! I wish you much success & happiness in all your ventures!
