Oh yeah, we sure do struggle with addiction. With me it's alcohol and food......I quit drinking just over 20 years ago, but I'm still self-medicating with food. Having bipolar on top of that is just pure joy......NOT.

Lately I've been listening to a lot of Latin music and the "hair bands" from the '80s, which are the types I usually prefer when I'm feeling great and getting fidgety (I think that may be called 'hypomanic'). In depressive states it's generally classical and/or country "crying in your beer'-type songs. Weird.
