I would sincerely like to hear from and share with any of the PC members who are attempting to deal with their depression/bi-polarism and/or substance abuse without any help from prescription meds. Perhaps there is even a sub-forum for this? Or interest in such? I'm keen to hear of others coping mechanisms, resulting physical struggles (if any), etc. In short, how are you managing (or not) without anti-depressants, mood stabilizers, antabuse-like drugs? Thanks to all.
