I personally don't put much stock in family doctors diagnosing or treating psychiatric disorders. Have you seen a psychiatrist? Can you get referred to get an evaluation?
Regardless of meds vs no meds, I think therapy can usually be very helpful, if you don't already have a therapist, you could also get referred by your family doctor (or psychiatrist)? Bipolar Disorder is very difficult to diagnose and takes time. I would get evaluated to start on a path towards recovery from what you're experiencing. Best of luck.
