Managing Bipolar 2 and BPD without Medication: Seeking Advice from Creative Types

I write and do other generally creative stuff and definitely haven't found that my creative spark is gone. I really think it depends on the person. When you're in a position where you can coast on your previous work/songs for a month or two, maybe try it out for a bit and see what happens. You can always stop or try something different. Good luck!

I feel like I have bipolar with psychosis features as well as BPD and ADHD but for me I jumped on medication because without it, I couldn't function normally. For me all my symptoms would rage and I wouldn't have a good time. Depends on your situation though. If you feel you need them, you should go get them. I'm very creative in the writing and poetry aspect, and I will say the mood stabilizers I tried hindered my creativity. There's a lot of trial and error there, but I'm finally on one that I can create and relax on at the same time.

As someone who’s diagnosed with bipolar type 1 and suggest you take your medication or else it might worsen if you don’t take care of yourself. Yeah it’s scary and a new experience, no you won’t regret taking medications as a treatment. It won’t kick in for two weeks or a week, smoking helps digest it faster but as someone who uses an inhaler, don’t.
