Everything Bipolar: My Drug and Alcohol Abuse

But I want to be real with you guys and let you know what I went through. I think it’s important to talk about how mental illness and drug and alcohol abuse can so often go hand in hand.

Hey there. I want to tell you that you are a very brave and honest young lady. I have tremendous respect for you for being so couragous. I was diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder just 19 months ago and I have struggled so much with drug addiction. Good luck and I hope you? are doing well. Thanks, Steven
Very well done, it came from the heart. If you have any success with this and it can help and inspire others, count me in…(I’ve got plenty of material to work with)
Remember: Everything Has Its Day? of Importance.
alcohol? is not the answer… it just makes you forget the question
AndI just found out that bipolar is not a form of autism so? I was like IOve been depressed and shy for something thats actually normal so that sorta cheered me but since ive stop medication and counceling with no meds works. nowoh yah I was also an alcoholic and Took drugs
Im gonna open up i was diagnosed with bipolar # 2 With ADD.. 2 years before I commit my self to rehab for around 2 weeks,. cause if this coupleof medications then after the years my psych told me to suspend the meds since i can control tho i could still feel some of the really fragile,,, but teh suicidal tendencies are gone the rage thing lessen so it was supposed to be a good thing but? then i felt a shamed with it at first cause I thought having this decease means im autistic and that hurts
That means so much to hear you say that.? Lots of love! <3 Amelia.
you’re? a beautiful person and a voice letting us know we aren’t alone! thank you!
Amelia, we BP folks are stricken with the one of the most serious mental illness there is.? Please focus on just doing the best you can, that’s all one can do. Amelia I am hesitant to mention this but I found the when I self harmed I would shock myself with a stun gun, because unlike cutting there are no visible scars. It’s funny but I went back to cannibis because my BP mania, GAD, and insomnia are so bad it works these best. I reluctantly do this. I will go back to hypnosis though as it helps.
:D?
Yah if? you don’t want to see people from high school then you don’t have to once you graduate.
Note: to all kids that are in school,nothing matters such as;dress apparel,sex apparel,who you’re friends with,how “cool” you are,what you do,who you are. Etc.. trust me I just recently graduated and all the friends? you have about 95% of them disappear and you never see them again. Just care about you and graduating,what do I know,I got no life goals and I sit around and smoke,oh well
someone to? talk to send me a message!
Really, that’s interesting. I realized in rehab that Marijuana was inducing my panic attacks. I’ve heard of several? cases where people who use Marijuana actually start getting panic attacks because of it. So that’s something to be cautious with. I’m so sorry that you have had to struggle with so many issues. I would never wish any of those illnesses on anyone. I’m so glad that you didn’t die when you OD’d. I know that you can be strong and get through this. Just keep holding on! If you ever need
You are stronger than I. I have BP1, GAD, PTSD, and ED issues. I have abused and self medicated with? every drug out there. I OD’d on Oxy a few years ago because I was so depressed that my Mom almost died. Reluctantly, I have to use medical marijuana to deal with my mania and chronic insomnia. MJ has less side effects for me than any other big pharma drug I have tried.
You? are so welcome hun <3
Thank you so much for having? the courage to share your story!! 🙂
