I think it can be worked through/out.
Apart from the energy changes, biochemical imbalances, I believe BP (and humanity or maybe any form of life, albeit less so) is very much a dissociation of three (aspects of of the self or) selfs. You should align them, reintegrate them.
I don't think it's so very different from DID. Maybe between DID and normalcy.
Acceptance is key. Embrace your manic and depressive you. You can't change what you do, just how you feel about it, basically. Paradoxically, maybe, change and how you feel do correlate: you will feel in control.
