No meds ?

No meds and no therapy for me.

Meds helped for awhile but I recently made the decision to go off of them and I'm doing better than ever.

Therapy has proven worse than useless for me personally. Pffft.

Meds and therapy for me. I don't know what I'd do without either one. I wouldn't presume to speak for anyone other than myself, but medication opened the door to recovery; therapy enabled me to walk through it and see what's on the other side.

Thank you everyone who has responded. I am a new member and just kind of wanted to get a feel for where everyone was at.

I have had one manic episode. I tried to be med free for 6 months or so after that. Then I tried meds. I definitely rely on my meds now. Also therapy. I had a severe mental "shake up" after the manic attack.

I am also in therapy.

For me, I want to be the best parent/-person I can be. I would also like to have 1 successful romantic relationship before I die. LOL

For this reason, I am on meds and in therapy!

If you can manage without, great.
I need both at the moment.

I am replying from my iPhone, so I will be brief. I am on meds. They are working for the most part. But I cannot afford to try to be off my meds right now. I just have too much at stake in my personal life. I cannot afford another episode that I am avoiding by taking meds. If I end up in the hospital , I will lose my mother due to APS, and the care of my daughter to her mother, which would be a major setback for her. There is simply too much riding on me being functional. So I will not take risks for the foreseeable future.
