I’m sorry I feel like this I do t want to sound harsh but sadly I think this is just another bad thing about mental health that even with medication you will not feel whole. All I can say is do stuff you love to do or used to love. Hang out with friends and family. Maybe get a cat? If you don’t think that will work it might help to make sure the foods you eat don’t mess with your meds. Get good sleep not to much or to little. I know this won’t make you feel like you once did but now your on the path to great success.
ALSO I think it’s vary common of people to stop taking meds and all I can say is try and be strong it never works out in the long run

Good suggestions.
I have 4 cats. LOL
My husband is dead and my daughter is 2700 miles away at college. I miss them so much. I'm pretty much a recluse and don't have any friends.
I have always had sleep issues. My psychiatrist keeps telling me, "Sleep is medicine." I work at it constantly.
My therapist reminds me that if I stop the meds, my psychiatrist will no longer see me. I have a good team of doctors and had to wait a long time to get in with my psychiatrist. He worked very slowly and carefully to find the right combo of meds and helped me out of a couple sticky situations, so I don't want to lose him. At the same time, it is as you say, "even with medication you will not feel whole." The side effects are frustrating. I was a train wreck after my husband died and until my meds were balanced. Still, I was undiagnosed and untreated for many years and recall fondly some of the things I accomplished when manic and when my mind was on fire.
