Your mother sounds like my ex-husband: if I put my head in the sand it will all go away.
I'm glad that you are more realistic.
Meds really can help. Particularly for Bipolar. If you find that the side effects are awful, then you just have to decide which is worse: the disease, or the drugs. And make your choice. Personally, even a lot of many side effects (i.e. constipation) is much easier on my life than my depression is.
Charting your moods is a good idea - helping you be prepared for upcoming changes, and also to give your doctor a better idea of what is going on.
Good luck
