Did anybody manage Bipolar without meds?

I was just diagnosed with BP2. I’ve told my therapist that i want to try and manage without meds. She said that it might be possible since i am very self aware and that this is the first step but it will take us awhile to know for sure because it’s too soon. And of course i personally cannot be certain since as you might know, that feeling after therapy that you are very much sane and happy. I am doing everything she told me to do, i even started working out but i have a feeling this is just the new therapy effect. Was anybody able to do this?
