If you don't want to take medication then accept who you are and go with that.
In the days before tranquilizers, antidepressants, anticonvulsants, etc., people with mood disorders wrote about their joy and sorrow. The French poet Paul Verlaine wrote eloquently about the pain he experienced whenever it rained in Paris. "It rains on the city like it crys in my heart, what is this sadness which penetrates my heart?" Emotions are part of the human experience; don't negate their importance.
