I agree with Blue and Hammy. You've been doing quite a bit for yourself in a therapeutic sense, despite not having any medical treatment.

Sometimes we just need to carve our own way to wellness, and that's ok. You know, you are so not the "I feel like crap, so what" type and let things spiral and spiral.... No matter how badly you struggle, you make sure you have the proper perspective, you self soothe, and you tackle the bipolar***** head on! Never, not once have you just layed down and taken it! And that is half the battle won, medicated or not.

I was also medicated for the sake of others, and it did nothing to improve things between me and those others. Maybe thats why meds and me didnt mesh, I was taking meds to be "appropriate" and I never was.....

Now that I accept me as is, others do too.
I hope you find the same self-acceptance I did, like Lóreal says, " Because you're worth it"
