This really is a BAD idea. If you aren't up to going to therapy, cancel. But don't self-medicate with alcohol. You mentioned a mixed episode. If you are BP, alcohol is only going to make the episode worse. Why are you in self-destruct mode? Rather than getting drunk, how about writing down some ideas about what you are feeling, or trying not to feel, and taking that with you to your appointment.

No worries, I didn't drive drunk. I did drink however. I know alcohol can make everything worse. It's just that right now it is the only thing toning the mania down. I am in self destruct mode, most days. It's a pattern, and frankly, I think that's what I deserve. I don't feel like a good person. I don't deserve happiness. At least those are thoughts in my head. Thank you for your concern. I am ok right now.
