are there any alternative solutions/treatments for bipolar disorder that don't involve taking anti depressants and mood stabalizers?

I feel like I might be depressed, but I don't know how to be sure. I'm usually happy and smiling when I'm with my friends, but whenever I'm alone, I start feeling really sad and lonely and bored. My grades are suffering in school, because I don't pay attention and I don't feel motivated. I'm tired a lot (but that's mostly because I hang out with friends until late) but when I finally do have time for a rest, I never sleep well. I know that a good diet and a sleep routine and all that stuff would help, but I am just not motivated enough to do it. Does anyone have any advise or sugestions? Or any information on depression and how to treat it? Thanks.

I want to live a healthier less angry life but it's hard when I couldn't get along with my neighbors a month ago, I always frequently get in little quarrels with my mother and sometimes my dad, and sometimes, when I get bad service at a fast food restaurant, I feel like blowing up in front of them! Please help, I don't know what else to do! I'm loosing my sanity like alot of stressed out people do.

i am 25 and have gone through alot of drama and huge mistakes in my time. My mom keeps saying she thinks i'm bi-polar because people just don't act irrationally like i did. ( i ran away from home at 18 and got pregnant for starters) I was seen by a therapist and was not diagnosed as bi-polar, just told i make bad choices. How do i convince my mom i'm ok and what more info can i find to show her i'm not bi-polar?

She has had her children taken away. Her husband is abusive. Don't know if he is on drugs or just can't handle her drug abuse. A neighbor took her away from the home and is driving her 300 miles to my house.

In 8th grade she died, (i found here laying in the bathroom, she had thrown up blood or something and then fell, all i k now is that the whole bathroom was red) that was pretty traumatic, i then stayed living with my uncle. I saw my mom every week, shes at rehab for her head injury. Recently she broke her leg and somethng is wrong with her head. Shes at a nursing home and barely makes any sense. My aunt is an alcoholic but is for the most part alright, i talk to her everyday. When she drinks its just hard too:-/. My uncle takes care of me now. Hes great but expects so much out of me.

Example: We've been going back and forth for years about whether or not I have some form of mental illness. The problem, however, is that whereas she believes I do, I clearly do not. I believe that my experiences can best be explained through Pre-Birth Communications, angelic visitations, ghosts, UFOs, NDEs, etc. I am sensitive to the spirit world but she believes that I have schizophrenia.

I've been having these non-productive conversations with her for years now, and it really irritates me. We literally go around and around in circles and get nowhere. I just want to live a productive life and be accepted by people. Instead, she contantly harps on me and pretty much jumps on me at the drop of a hat. When she gets argumentative, I unfortunately get so back. It is some of the most unproductive conversations ever.

What can I do to not get sucked into these types of conversations? Because everything eventually comes back to this topic, whether we are talking about work or whatever.

although I do get a lot of work done in the wee hours in the morning when no one is around to disturb me and without interuptions. I feel like crap the next day, and a little odd. What's a painless way to get back on a normal schedule? Sometime, however i just stay up and surf the net and stress about things and ruminate. Thanks.

I sometimes think my psychotherapist knows more than my psychiatrist. I see my psychotherapist every week and psychiatrist three times a month.
