How to deal with bipolarism?

Recently I accepted the fact that I am also seriously bipolar on top of every other god damn issue I have and am seeking a way, any way really (minus meds, I’m never touching medication again), to help myself deal with it so I’m not so prone to becoming malicious and sadistic when I swing towards my more foul mood. I’m sick of it and of all the pain I’ve dealt to those who were/are close. So if anyone has any suggestions on how to manage one’s bipolarity, it’d be much appreciated.
