I have been bouncing happily around for the last several days. Today I woke up and still havn't gotten out of bed, I'm grumpy and I dont feel well.
When I was in the hospital on a suicide watch 10 years ago my diagnosis were bi-polar, panic dissorder and social anxiety. Out of the hospital 2 other doctors confirmed that diagnosis and 1 didn't. I was on lithium, depakote and those types of meds for several years until a doctor told me that it was clinical depression and not bi-polar.
I didn't feel manic at all during the time I was drinking, but now that I have stopped I am think I am having ups and downs. Problem is I like the manic feeling. Any comments will be appriciated.
