I think you should follow thinker's advice. You simply cannot successfully live with bipolar disorder without 1. Meds and 2. therapy. It, sadly, is just not possible. You may be able to get away with it for a period of time, but not your whole life.
Some Bipolars can go years in between episodes. Some bipolars have episodes all the time. Some are rapid cyclers (which sounds like you) But, no matter what, I promise you the episodes will come.
And it sounds like you are in an episode
right now. So you for sure definitely RIGHT NOW need to be on meds and see someone on a regular basis.
One thing that is very common to happen to a bipolar off meds is sooner or later developing psychotic symptoms and/or becoming psychotic. You don't want it to progress to that. It is painful and can land you in the hospital.
Another very common thing to happen for untreated bipolar disorder is suicide attempts and suicide successes.
So PLEASE make the extra effort, even though you probably don't feel you can do it, to follow thinker's advice.
AND KEEP POSTING!!!
Wishing you strength
