this is tabby again. i didnt get to finish my post about having a 9 yr old & drinking when she was small. but yeah you really should tell your pdoc about it cuz mine went into full blown alcoholism hell until i got help. i was diagnosed for so many years with major depression disorder until my new pdoc immediately diagnosed me as bp1. looking back over my 20s & also my teens & childhood everything seemed to make so much more sense. it was like a revelation. just please take care of yourself as selfish as it sounds cuz im 32 & just now trying to get leveled out.
