I had an experience last night that might have been mania. Is it possible for alcohol to trigger mania? I was out a club and had a very interesting night lol. It's common for a night to go like this: I intend to drink but not a lot and just drink more and more and more until I wind up so drunk I start to stumble and sway. I'm happy the whole time though. Last night, I wound up dancing with a guy (by the way I'm a gay woman), asking a girl who goes to my college if she had a girlfriend (she does), and trying to connect to my ex through her best friend (I ran into him at the club and we spoke in person). I wouldn't say these experiences were bad, but I felt at the top of the world like nothing could go wrong at all. Today, however, I'm grossed about by the fact I danced closely with a guy, feeling that it will be awkward when I see the girl I spoke to,
and feeling anxious about whether or not my ex's best friend will really talk to her today as he said (it was actually a really pleasant conversation with him). Today, I am hungover and very off/depressed perhaps. What do you all think/make of this?

My Pdoc says look over your day and chart what fits the "overall" day.
I chart on the following
hours of sleep
*the following I base on a scale of 1 to 10 .
level of pain
any triggers
up
down
baseline
anger
irritation
Self care
Ability to do what needs to be done daily.
I do place my hand over the previous days charting so that it doesn't effect my true thoughts of the present day.
Anyway that is what I have been doing for over 4 years. I can see patterns before I actually notice and take action before something has a chance to really knock me off the rails.

That's great. I'll try that out!
