Our emotional health is dependent of so many things. Professional help is a wrong word, i think so. You can say professional treatment. When you start to look at the surrounding with a zero observation, having no expectations from any relationship, trusting people as they are, and living life the way it is ( changing to circumstances & adapting to situations) this will make you feel just You. Professional things work for only a matter of time. Even though those doctors/therapists ask you to work on your own with some tablets or theories. So just follow your inner heart with true lookout to world n you will see wonders.

It is possible to improve the way in which you react to the changes in your psychological state. There are many techniques that you can employ to reduce levels of distress. As a therapist i would advise that it is always better to seek support when addressing your issues, however there are plenty of resources for those wanting symptomatic relief which can be self administered

Bipolar disorder is a very difficult thing to live with. There are success stories where people did not seek professional help, but they are extremely rare and letting things go untreated can cause more harm than good. The difficulty of working alone with bipolar is (as you know) emotions make it very difficult to make decisions. Also, sometimes we don't realize we have a problem and it not until it is too late that we realize what is happening. How many times have you felt good but not realized that was part of your mania? The truth to success is to follow a program of some sort that you feel not only feel comfortable with, but you should be well supported and participate in your own care. :)

No. Seek mood stabilizers and an object-relations therapist. Your reaction to medication will tell you a lot about your condition.

You cannot. I know this answer may end up disappointing you, but bipolarity is a very serious issue, one that can only be improved with proper care and professional help.
