Answer 1

Yes there is one thing that has helped me (as a suicide survivor).

Getting close to God, going to church and praying often.  Be still in the quiet of your prayers to hear the answer in your heart.

Answer 2

I don't understand--is your doctor telling you to manage it yourself, and he's not prescribing medication?

Can you get a referral to a psychiatrist?  There are a lot of medication options for bipolar.

Answer 3

I am bipolar too and I do recommend medication. It has helped me so much that my symptoms have really lessened. I can tell you from experience that bipolar sucks and is VERY hard to manage on your own. Maybe you should get another opinion from a second psychiatrist? I suggest support groups, medication, God, and surrounding yourself with supportive friends and family. :) Hope I helped!
