So I’m pretty lucky in that I can and have been functioning fairly well without meds for two years (not my choice to stop taking them, lost my insurance). There are noticeable mood swings and it effects my quality of life though.

I’m at a great job for me mentally, and I’m happy there. I’m not making not a lot of money though and have rent with my husband on top of normal bills. 

This is actually fine and we have money leftover, but treating bipolar disorder is notoriously expensive. A few extra hundred is a lot on my budget. I’m trying to go back to school too and don’t want to have to pick between them.

Therapy I can do without for now if needed but meds I really would like back. I also have an anxiety disorder I also need medication for all. Everything is diagnosed.

My insurance is United healthcare through my job if that helps. Online stuff is easier on me physically on mentally, and sometimes can be cheaper.
