Everything Bipolar: My Drug and Alcohol Abuse


 

Everything Bipolar: My drug and alcohol abuse – This video took a lot out of me to film. To be honest, the first time I tried to film it I ended up in tears.

  • radiance370Z says:

    you’re? a beautiful person and a voice letting us know we aren’t alone! thank you!

  • danielsaun1 says:

    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?

  • everythingamelia says:

    Yah if? you don’t want to see people from high school then you don’t have to once you graduate.

  • GlobberThree000 says:

    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!

  • everythingamelia says:

    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

  • danielsaun1 says:

    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.
