Chardoll,
You do not say if you're on meds or not for your bipolar condition.
If you are, and you're drinking, you know that's not good. the drinking basically nullifies the effects of the medication, especially if you're on an antidepressant.
What have you done in the past to help your moods?
For depression, anxiety and irritability, I try to relax and stay in the present. I also meditate, and use deep breathing - especially when I can have some aromatherapy and my tabletop waterfall going. It's also helpful for me to have time alone; to exercise regularly; to eat properly; to stay in touch with my Higher Power; to exercise my mind; and to negate negative thoughts and replace them with more positive ones. In short, I try to take care of all aspects of my self -- physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. In doing so, I always feel better, even if only a little.
Sometimes, it takes a lot of work to do these things. Some days, I can only take on one area. But, each day, I do something good for myself. I'm worth the effort. So are you.
I hope this helps in some way. Please let us know. We care.
Shalom!
