For the past several months, I have been getting drunk just about every day. I finally started going to AA, and I haven’t had a drink in three days.

Now, I’m hypomanic. (I have bipolar disorder, II.) I used to need alcohol to sleep, so I haven’t been sleeping a lot. Can stopping alcohol cause mania?

I was diagnosted in 2006 with bipolar type 2. ( I suffer more from deppression than mania…and my manias aren’t extreme, they are hypomanias…)

Doctors have tried SO MANY medication on me, I feel like a lab rat!

Either the meds made no improvement on me, or the side effects were to strong/or dangerous for me to continue them.

Besides the obvious, impulsive behavior and low self esteem (as my boyfriend just pointed out to me), are there any other common links between anorexia or Bulimia and Bipolar Disorder?
really, just doing some research for my page and wanted to know opinions as well as facts

To start, I was diagnosed 7 yrs ago with Bipolar Disorder. Been depressed all my life, attempted suicide 4 times in past 22 yrs. Finally am seeing a good psychiatrist and counselor and I think I’m on the right meds. Definitely see the road to recovery. I have lots of racing thoughts and tons & tons of questions. Questions about everything – God, religions, faith, food, soda, war, poverty, abortion, colors, nature, animals, my past, my son’s mental health, my birth parents (am adopted), the universe, etc. etc. the list is HUGE! I do seek answers often, I read a lot, spend a lot of time on the internet & at the library and emailing friends. In the past 3 months I have had my counselor, a priest, a good friend, my mother and my son all tell me that I ask too many questions. That made me upset and sad and lost. Do I just ignore my questions and thoughts? Do I write them done and burn them? Do I keep seeking answers? SEE, I am asking questions here My brain does not stop. HELP!

My grandchild (17) was put on 50mg of seroquel after being tenetively diagnosed with bipolar disorder. She also has been diagnosed with post tramatic stress syndrone and OCD.
