Out of the blue

I'm having major major cravings. I'm on day 46 and I've not really craved alcohol until now. I have depression with occasional hypomanic episodes and I'm in one of those moods today...I feel really high but in a bad way and I want to get drunk. I can't think straight or concentrate on anything and I'm practically crawling out of my skin

My housemate has some vodka in the fridge and I can't pour it away cause it isn't mine so I'm going to have to resist temptation. Aaaaaggghhh I should sleep but I can't!! Help!

I had one of those last night, ended up rearranging my bedroom a bit ... not sure if you can do that, but it sure took my mind off the 'thoughts'.

Purple pixie it will pass. It really will. Is there anything on tv you want to watch? Or can you run out for a peppermint decaf latte? Can you take a shower?

Also can you ask your room mate to not have it in the house or at the least keep it in their room?

I hope it gets better. I'll stay online if you want to "chat". You can PM me

Purplepixie, I'm sorry you are feeling uneasy. But do me a favor and stay far away from that fridge. I'm sure, if you are a younger person, you have laundry piled up somewhere, or that need to be put away....so GO CLEAN YOUR ROOM. LOL That's an order.

I was so crazy one time that I organized the silverware drawer...it worked!

I'm moving house at the minute so I'm in an almost empty room bar a few boxes...I have nothing to tidy or sort unfortunately! I considered going for a run but it's 1.40am here and my house is in a dodgy area so it's not very safe (it's alos minus 4 degrees which puts me off a bit lol!). I would go for a drive but I feel so high that I'm not sure I'd be safe to drive right now and there's nowhere to go at this time....gahhhhh, I'm not trying to make excuses I promise and I really appreciate all your support, maybe I should take a shower

I can't drink her vodka, if it isn't mine to throw away then it isn't mine to drink! I don't really want to drink anyway, I just want this manic feeling to stop and I know drinking would slow my head down a bit. I'd definitely regrt it if I did though
