Hi, I'm 19 and I was recently diagnosed with bipolar disorder and ADD. I was wondering if alcohol screws anybody else over like it does to me. When I drink I make awful decisions and I'm starting think that alcohol triggers manic episodes. And the episodes are wild. I take medication, so normally I don't have major episodes. But the awful decisions I make under the influence leave me so depressed. And I' afraid I'm starting to show signs of hyper-sexuality. The depression is impossible to deal with, so does anyone have any advice or tips for dealing with this?

I know I should probably stop drinking, but keep in mind its really hard being young in college. I'm really worried because both my manic and depressive episodes are too much to control.
