There are different types of bi polar!. Possibly you have a milder case like bi polar 2!. I have it but there are different types for different symptoms!. If you think this may be the case you will need to take a mood stabilizer !. The most common is lithium!. Anti depressives don't work!. As far as I know meds are the only way to alleviate the symptoms as it is chemical!. Psychotherapy will help you cope and make sense of what you are feeling!.
