I feel like one wrong move is going to push me over the edge.
On a side note, my wife thinks I'm a borderline alcoholic. She says I drink too much, especially since I drink to get drunk. I've drank three out of the last 4 nights, and I'm probably going to drink tonight too, to finish off what I have left. I don't know, maybe I do have a problem, but it's not like I do this every week. I won't tell my pdoc about my drinking because she said I shouldn't drink at all. I just don't know.  |
Yes, I feel exactly like I'm on the edge of insanity as I go upward toward manic. Depression for me is a much more stable feeling.
As for the drinking, how often do you drink to get drunk? If it's a few days ever once in while (like months apart,) then maybe just analyze why you are doing it right then, what's triggering it? If you do this regularly, such as every month, then that might be a red flag. Or if you drink every day even not to get drunk, that could be a red flag too.
