Sorry I need to quit booze

Bananatropics26

I might have to end up doing dry January afterall. Sorry about yesterday. Last nite was godawful. One minute I am invincible and euphoric next I am trying to jump out the window and I am screaming in my flat like a deranged lunatic at 1AM. What is wrong with me?? I think I'm bipolar

    I think I need to contact a healthcare professional yeh. I have a lot of trauma from the past and drug issues 

  • That sounds really tough and I appreciate your openness in telling us how things are.

    I hope you can get support and perhaps consider contacting your GP if you haven’t already.

    That's very true. Were all on our own individual journey to learn the great mystery of life I suppose. Same here buddy. When I drink all my dark negative projections and thoughts seem to be enacted into reality because of the lowering of my inhibitions caused by the alcohol. For me alcohol doesn't affect my mask. It doesn't take off the mask for me because it's not strong enough it just kinda makes me sleepy and frees up my inhibitions that's all I do not get any euphoria from alcohol like others do. 

  • Hi, we only learn from our falls, get back up on the horse and start again. A blip made me more resolute, I used to hate waking up and wondering what chaos I might have caused. Alcohol for me did rip the mask off, unfortunately it wasn’t the introvert me underneath , it released my alter ego.

    I hope you stay stable till your appointment,  I hope there is an emergency line there to help you just in case. I'm not in UK and have never been there, so I'm not sure how it works there.

    Also thanks kindly. The alcohol has worn off so that's good. Yes I hope everyone is good too. Yes I shall speak to doctor next week. See what his take is on matters? Yeh people are nice and everyone is good. I just get sooo down in the dumps sometimes. But when I am in it I think it's never going to end. But everything passes eventually I suppose

    Yes thanks kindly. I also think you are great I also think everyone on here is great. Yes it's all about the journey isn't it? I did pray to God thanking for letting me see the light and not do anything silly. Yeh it's okay to get down now and again. We are all human. We all need eachother. 

  • I think you're great  , but it sounds like you are going through a really hard time at the moment. It is a good idea to seek help and answers if you need them, I only know what I look up online too. I think this time of year can be particularly hard. 

    It is cold at the minute but the snowdrops are coming up. Sometimes life is like this too, it seems hard but you have to wait and see what's to come.

  • I'm really sorry that you struggle so much. As far as i know, manic and hypomanic periods in bipolar take longer than mood swing during a day, anyway nobody here can tell you, wether you have this or that disorder, only a doctor can do it. I hope you get professional help. Nobody here can prescribe you meds or give any medical advice,  only doctors can do it. We can only check up on you online, and maybe advice you to seek professional help if you didn't yet. I hope you get better.

    Ps no need to feel sorry.
