For five years I didn't believe that I had bipolar. I suffered the extreme mood swings and couldn't hold a job. I just thought that I was a slacker. Eventually I ended up in the mental hospital for the 2nd and 3rd time, having had 4 total manic episodes. However, I did last for 2 years without medication and without hospitalization.
