For a lot of people who are bipolar, taking meds brings back sanity to their lives.
When manic they can ruin relationships, lose jobs, friends, familys. get arrested, lose all of their money. Some become homeless. There are a lot of unmedicated homeless people with mental illness.
I would encourage you to get into therapy and start working on getting some tools to handle your life.
Are you planning on going to college in the spring.
Maybe that could be a goal for you to get stable enough to go to school.
I forget, do you drive? Have a car. Have you thought about getting a job?
These are real life questions to ask yourself.
