Hey, I've been off meds (no insurance) for almost three years now, and diet and exercise do help a lot-when I'm eating shit and not going to the gym I tend to cycle through moods a lot quicker, and tend to have more mixed episodes-where I've got the full on racing thoughts, but no desire to get out of bed and *do* anything about them.

When I'm eating well and going to the gym 3x a week, it's a lot easier to keep my moods stable. (ad then i get a depressive episode that will completely throw me for a loop and get me off the schedule for a couple of months until things cycle back and I get back in the gym, and am good for 7-8 months with just diet/exercise keeping things stable.

I've been off meds for about a year now (same deal, no insurance and I moved to another state where there's virtually no programs for the uninsured) and changing my diet has been really helpful in that regard. I haven't been getting a whole lot of exercise though, because of the heat wave and my bike having fucked up tires. Limiting my alcohol consumption actually seems to be the major factor in controlling my moods actually

So yeah, I'm not saying that diet and exercise don't help because they do, but they don't eliminate the mental illness. To be quite honest, even meds don't eliminate bipolar, they just help with the symptoms (when I was on lamictal I would still get depressed from time to time, I was just able to deal with the depression better by logically recognizing it as a temporary state of mind that would eventually pass -- something I had trouble with when I wasn't taking meds)
