Bi-polar disorder, hmm, that's tough. Probably a question of degree...how much does it hinder one's goals?
If not that much, I'd try to get rid of the diagnosis by reading literature which supports bipolar disorder not existing. And doing art/journaling during angsty times and accomplishing as much as possible in those mania spurts.
If it did indeed distort my life, I'd probably try medication and bodywork, simultaneously, and then cut one out (the meds) and see if the bodywork continued the results.
I would also try to find the smartest, most compassionate person/partner who was also bipolar - but controlled it well - and try a relationship with them.
