Done the drunken e-mails & dialing. One time I was really depressed after drinking (well, before, too, that's why I was drinking) & I called my father--all crying & going over all the past chaos that was my childhood. Finally, he had had enough & said, "I'm hanging up now." Only remembered bits & pieces the next day, but was moritified as well that he heard me in that shape.

Also, now I don't allow myself to call, write, e-mail, send smoke signals when I'm manic. I'll get in touch with people who I haven't communicated with in years & I'm sure they're wondering what has gotten into me.--Suzy
