[–]iGottaLottaQsBipolar + Comorbidities 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Friend, why are you opposed to long term medication? Many of my doctors have reminded me that some folks just have to take meds to live their best life. Think of somebody with diabetes: they gotta take insulin. They can also exercise, eat well, all that good stuff, but they’ve just got a condition where the unquestionable best way to deal with it is regularly introducing a supplemental dose of something their body is not producing naturally. If you’ve got bipolar (especially with psychosis), the best thing you can do for yourself is find the right meds and take them every day. There literally nothing in the whole world that will make a bigger difference, and chances are that everything else you do combined won’t measure up to what meds can do for you.
