Thank you for your words

I am determined. Even if it's just somewhat lessened. I will be ok with that. The thing is, my manic episodes are really nice and they don't cause very much harm. Only a little money spent and I've quit too many jobs but that's something I'm working on and learning and doing much better at. It's the depressive phases that are a problem. And I don't feel the need for a mood stabilizer because my manic isn't bad but I know that only being on an anti depressant could trigger bad mania. So, that's also a reason I'm seeking alternative remedies.
I'm sorry you couldn't figure it out. I'm glad you found something that works for you though.
