In the end, all that really matters is whether you can start to understand/analyse yourself better, helping you to cope, and whether the meds commonly prescribed for BP (a mood stabiliser and/or antipsychotic) do help you with that. For the latter, if so, you can then always decide whether you want to keep taking medications or not.
Lifelong use of medications is rarely necessary, might still be preferred, but is always a choice you make for yourself, not something others can decide for you.

Mania kills cells. Brain cells die. Memories become more reduced conceptually, making more efficient use of limited means. Memories shape our reality. Our memories are more or less split in two by abstractions, conceptual reductions. Mood states with memories, concepts, attached. Memories of pain and those of joy. It causes instability, changeability. Fearing that will leave an emptiness between pain and joy and a greater divide.
See Me, Feel Me, Touch Me, Heal Me.
