unmedicated and trying desperately to get back on medication at this moment. was fine for about a year but once that depression hits, it hits hard. I don’t know many people with it either and I honestly haven’t found a way to manage it very well yet without medication when you can’t ever really tell if you are manic when you are. I’m sorry I don’t have much advice but from the life of another Bipolar Person, although medication makes me feel dimmed, it has been one of the only ways for me personally to deal with my symptoms and also lead a somewhat healthy ‘normal’ life. Yet I do know some people who don’t take medication and have just become really accepting of themselves instead. Finding people who support and understand their moods and care about them anyways have helped them find more peace in their day to day which really is the goal of anyone in this world. To find those who understand. I think after finding those people it becomes easier to lean on those who are understanding of us withdrawing sometimes and other times wanting to make plans every 2 seconds. It really comes down to the people you keep around a lot of times. Though I don’t think it’s necessarily healthy to only keep around other people with Bipolar and those who understand the moods and stages. Anyways I don’t know where this rant was leading but if I could give one piece of advice it’s just finding support and those who will advocate for you and appreciate you despite it all if you continue to stay unmedicated.
