i’m a “self-medicated” diagnosed type 2 bipolar patient. off all meds and therapy for over 10 years now and stronger than ever. there’s nothing really to say in the ways of how to do it, just do it. want to do it. i hated being a zombie on the antipsychotics and antidepressants and everything else. i also have rage epilepsy and i quit taking my anti seizure medicine (and all other prescription drugs) 10 years ago and haven’t had another seizure since. the depression can be very hard to manage at times, but you just have to believe in yourself. friends may come and go, family may not always be there, but you are always there, so be strong for yourself.
