It is possible to be bipolar and not take conventional medication for it. It's simply much more difficult and most people tend to choose the easier way of doing things. Getting off medication is more than worth it though and it was one of the most liberating things that I ever accomplished next to getting my driver's license  |
wow. i find this quite inspiring. last time i went med free I wasnt prepared and my diet wasnt healthy enough. I was going to the gym, but I should of also practiced meditation and yoga. also, find a holistic doctor. i was also drinking at night to fall asleep.
i was 5 months medfree before mania. stress got to me, and it acually happened during spring break. and it actually happened when I stopped drinking at night to try to get off the booze. I stayed in my bed for like 3 days listening to spotify and writing all sorts of stuff on my ipad. I gave up on life.
how long have you been medfree?
also, were you diagnosed bipolar 1 or 2?
im 1, and I believe its harder for people that have a risk of getting into full-blown mania. coping and finding relief is almost impossible during a manic episode, without medication.
