It's kind of hard to answer that. It sounds like you have on and off self medicated. So are you off all drugs now? That would be a start whether you decide on meds or not. You don't want recreational drugs messing with your mind at the same time. It complicates recovery. Assuming you are I support trying but with some help. A therapist or maybe you have someone close you can bounce things off of? It helps to have feedback because it is hard of us to judge our own behavior. If you do decided to speak to a doc bringing that person is really helpful. Most people don't do it but they really should.

After that I think the most important thing is your diet. Learn proper nutrition. Stay away from fads. If you want more on that ask. I don't know what your level of knowledge is. A lot of people suggest supplements is which is fine but most of it can be solved with a whole food balanced diet. Supplements aren't a substitute for a good diet.

Exercise is really, really important. You sound like you have a lot of energy so having a physical outlet is probably going to be very helpful.

Also seek out a meditation or zen center. What is important is getting some mindfulness training. If you already know how to meditate practice.

Hobbies and interests are really important too. You can use them to work out your feelings.

These might seem rather like common sense but they really do work.
