This is the place to talk about your experience with bipolar disorder, learn from others' experiences, and find support.
I medicate with a lot of bad stuff, not sure if it's medication of just bad coping skills, either way SI etc is my way.
For me, self medicate with anything I can afford and within reach. It's bad, I know, but some of you know already.
Booze....yes
Tobacco...yes
Cafine.......ohhh yea
self harm.....yep Im fucked.
Im a different person behind closed doors.Not that I do all of them all the time!Just usually during my mypomanic/depressed phases.Pretty dangerous behavior.I know.
I don't do any of it though.
No wonder my pdoc has me on so much xanax.
Nicotine? Definitely. I don't smoke for my health. I smoke for the health of those around me.
Caffeine? Yeah, but for me, caffeine doesn't seem like a drug. I can stop it without headaches or any trouble at all, and it never hypes me up.
Alcohol...yes, and when you self medicate with alcohol, you're going down a horrid path.
Marijuana? LOVE IT! Haven't smoked any in a while, but I'm all for this stuff! If it was up to me, it'd be legal.
Most alcohol. Haven't self harmed in several months.
If you try to take aaway my caffeine I will dig out your kneecaps with a rusty nail and suckle on the marrow. :)
