Hi tifeni,
Welcome to EmpowHER. Many people with bipolar disorder need medication to remain stable and healthy, but they're sometimes resistant to the idea of taking medication. One common concern is that medication will take the "edge" off of your personality; people with bipolar disorder are often creative and eccentric and fear that being medicated will change that. People who are taking medication may stop taking it once they begin to feel better, mistakenly believing they no longer need it. Whatever the reason for resistance, with encouragement you can help.
I've included a link on Bipolar that will be helpful.
Bipolar Disorder
Best,
Daisy
