I know that some people with bipolar can go with out meds if they have good self care measures in place and a good support system.

i really don't know. I mean like a part of me is convinced i do, but maybe it's a milder version like, what's it called? Cyclothymia Although, if I go by recent history, my depression period lasted very long. And I don't know if it was from trauma (not like physical abuse but broken relationships/that drama), I had pretty severe depression like 2-3 years back. Worst of my life! Is it possible for depression to be co-morbid with bipolar? Or was it just a situational depression.
Anyway, yes I've taken tests. I've taken this one, but I'll take it again. At the therapist's(? some mental health facility), I scored um, what is it? undetermined or something like that. (forgetting the word). Here I score a possibility of it. It's just, I'm not sure exactly what they consider on these tests. I mean, it's a self assessment...hard for me to say that what I have is like what others have or that my definition is the same as others' definitions. You know?
