I'm going to have to agree with everyone else hun. It sounds to me as though you feel having a child with miraculously make all of your problems, all of the hurt you're feeling go away. The truth is, it won't.
You need to be 100% well and ready before you have a child. I know you said you saw your sister have one at 17 and get on ok, can I ask-does have have MH problems as well? If not it's not really fair to compare as the circumstances are different. Your medication would present problems as if you didn't have to cut them out completely you'd at least have to change them, how well do you feel you would cope with that right now? Also, think about the hormones surging-are they likely to make you feel better, or worse?
You're obviously a very loving person, and there's no reason why you shouldn't have kids later down the line but personally my advice would be to wait. At least wait until you've finished college, your bf has a job and you've been stable for at least a year with perhaps no meds. But mostly wait until you know you are doing this for YOU not for someone else.
