RB tried the med route for a while and it didn't work all that well, so the logical thing is.... try it sans the meds.

Remember, some of us don't take meds and we are well self-aware. Meds self awareness do not make. Taking meds makes you medicated. It works for some, it doesn't work for others. Please, don't judge, or call others names. We all are trying the best to get by. For some the best lays out of the mainstream.

RB seems very well aware and more optimistic than they did in years.

Not sure what does the diabetic woman have to do with bipolar. Bipolar is no diabetus, not even "just like diabetus".

And if you can't get behind alternative paths to wellness, don't fearmonger needlessly. We got enough of that elsewhere.
