I think its just natural for people to do some stuff thats not really "right or good for us" But I dont think we do it anymore than your average person .... Those of us with Bipolar just tend to over think everything to death and sometimes guilt ourselves to the point where we beat ourselves up far more harsher than the other folks would.

So what if once in a while we go out and have a blast... I mean normally we are doing so much into self care and trying to keep good sleep hygiene and take our meds .. etc you get the point .. right?
So I would imagine going out here and there is probably a good thing . Too many people are medicated to the gills that they just stay snowed under and cant really enjoy life.

Just a side note if you are out drinking and having fun its best to skip your Psych meds that nite.

Of course this is just my opinion as I am certain someone is going to try and bash me for it
