I was diagnosed with bipolar many years ago. I was prescribed meds but I only took them for a short amount of time before I just didn't want to anymore. I didn't like how they made me feel. I was convinced I could do this on my own and there is nothing wrong with me. Boy, it's hard.

Lately its been getting more difficult to even get through my day. I cycle so rapidly that I am sure my husband and kids think I am a total nut job. I feel manic the majority of the time. Sometimes happy manic other times I am spinning out of control with irritability and rage. I only feel really low about once a month. Can I do this without meds? Lately, I feel like I need SOMETHING. My husband doesn't want me on anything. He is worried about side effects and me not being me. Are there any natural/holistic treatments that actually work? I am just so tired of me I could puke.
