I had really bad manic & hyp episodes before I was diagnosed. Since being on BP meds I haven't had one (knock on wood). So I believe in meds for me. There are ppl who post in this forum that do not take meds. From my understanding it takes a lot of discipline and requires a strict regimen. The other non-med option is to ride the wave which is what ur doing now, dealing w/ the episodes as they come. As you think abt what you want to do. Factor in the fact that you have one than one diagnoses, two being serious.
I wish you the best
