Hello, I'm looking to hear from people who don't take medication. What is your treatment? How do you cope with mood swings? Have you tried medication in the past, or do you consider taking medication?

Just to be clear, I am not asking for medical advice. I was diagnosed with comorbid bipolar 2 and borderline, but I think I don't really have bipolar just drug-induced mood swings and borderline. Medication never really helped me (some meds made me calm and slow for a few weeks), I am really worried about side-effects and I even tried many times to overdose on medication (that's actually the only way that I would ever attempt suicide to be honest). I would like to take medication only if needed (crisis). 

I would like to hear what is/is not working for you. Thanks!
