To those commenting that the original poster may not be bipolar because the post is quite rational: bipolar disorder is nothing you will see or suspect on people unless you know them really well. It also doesn't mean a person would not be rational. They can be suicidal one day then not even understand why they felt that way the next day. Just like there are many people around you who are clinically depressed, but you would barely tell, same with this disorder. It's nothing to take lightly.
Kudos for seeking help <3
Great alternative to meds are carefully selected essential oils. But first you should be able (yourself or with help of a doctor) to identify what is the most probable cause (•Hormonal imbalance •Neurotransmitter imbalance •Changes to the brain •Genetics •Extreme abuse •Extreme stress •Traumatic experiences ....) to get the best suited oils or blends. Do not use cheap oils (perfume grade or synthetic) if you choose to try this alternative
Meditation is another great way to address bipolar disorder.
A friend with this disorder also started to write poetry as a means of help, but I understand that might not the for everybody - but it's an example how different people cope :)
I order every month from Young Living. Best quality I could find (pure, organic, very wide range of oils). I can add for anybody to my regular order to try, or I can show how to order and get 24% discount.
