Hi Boydette,
sorry to hear you are suffering. Are you receiving therapy? Not sure what
country you are from so may not understand your public health system. Here
in Australia you can get treatment without insurance. Generic brand meds are
cheaper and if you are on any type of disability allowance you can get them
at reduced costs.
Not sure what non-medical treatments can help with the bipolar - but with
panic/anxiety I have found meditation, music, breathing exercises,
distractions such as working in the garden to help lower anxiety.
take care,
Vanessa
