Might as well take advantage of having a good thing.

Hi Espurr, thanks for posting. I want to give up the alcohol and pot, It is causing me alot of problems. I think it may be making the hypomania worse. I think i may be using it to feel more at ease in social situations, as I have avoidant personality disorder. Like I said, I never use when i am depressed. Maybe I am afraid it will make the depression worse. I have decided to tell my therapist, and she will have to make a decision on what to do. I have been to the state hospital before, but It really stresses me alot when Im there because of all the people there. I will have to deal with it though, if she decides to send me there.
