I've been finding that my moods are so great lately. The last few months, I've had almost no outbursts or those periods of time where I'm just twitchy with stressful energy and frustration, anger, all of that ...you know, stuff. You should have seen me a year and a half ago - un-medicated, no psychiatrist and just terrifying.

I mostly haven't had help with my moods through my life, but I have been on anti-depressants a few times in the last 20 years. Most of the things I've figured out through repeatedly making the same mistakes and just generally making a big ***** out of myself and then trying new strategies. I'm getting pretty good. The only downside is that I've been drinking a lot and being a little rebellious. I don't want to make any major quick changes and risk messing up my moods again, but I feel like being blackout drunk on a semi-regular basis is not a great future-planning technique.

So, any ideas on how to tone down my self-medication a little without messing up my new cool moods? I'm not on the verge of being a non-drinking, sensible-eating, monogamous, stay-at-home woman, but maybe between that and the overly fun version of me?
