living wiht bipolar while not being medicated is very frustrating. I don't take any medications only becasue I am afraid i won't be in control of myself and being in control is like my thing. I was origanly diagnosed with Major Depression but only becasue I only told my doc half the truth. Iwas diagnosed when i was still a minor so I had no say in what medications I took and my mom didnt think I should be on any psych drugs becasue my dad abused them. So I have coped as best as I can with therapy , my own thoughts, exercise (is the second best) and music / dancing 9best). i feel that this site is also a grat resource. I have noticed that by just spending 15 minutes on here is a grat experiance. I still have spending problems and aall that but I cope the best way i can. If you ever need t talk just message me.

I hope everything goes well for you.
