Is it really possible for people with bipolar to be okay without medication? I've gone without it for many years as I was totally against it. Sometimes I thought it was okay but that I just did not need it. But my life was total hell without medications. I've tried everything under the sun that was suggested to survive bipolar without it. But I was always a wreck. None of it ever worked. But then I hear people go on about how they don't need it, and they're fine without it, blah, blah, blah. I don't get it.
