Bipolar disorder/no meds

Anyone on here bipolar? Like actually diagnosed with it, not just thinking you are.  Been diagnosed with it for 6 years now. Not taking any meds for it for the past year and a half probably. Was it better for you to take meds or do you prefer not to? I hate taking meds and I wanna deal with it without medication, but it's super hard at times with all the mood swings and mainly the lows. Having a low at the moment and not sure if it's really worth it for me to keep trying without medication.
