it's not too personal at all :)
I'm prescribed Lithium but i don't take it, i just put up with the moods function as best i can within each phase. usually getting a lot done during the highs which make up for unproductive lows. i also find the extremities help me creatively as i'm currently studying creative writing. i wouldn't necessarily advise you avoiding medication if it were suggested for you though. i'm 24 and have had 13 years to get used to this illness and learn how to deal with it without meds.
i can really empathise with finding it difficult to talk to people face to face about your emotions. you could maybe write something down for the doctor to read instead and also maybe take a friend to back up what you say about your behaviour. someone elses perspective can often help in these situations.
how come your mum canceled the appointment?
