I drink and drive when I'm hypomanic, and this puts me and others in danger. I dont have the right to put others lives in danger, so I need to stop using for this reason, as well as many others. When I am hypomanic, I have done some pretty stupid things, and the substances makes it worse. I have got to find a way to not use when I'm hypomanic. When I get depressed, I have to deal with all the stupid things i have done. Also I have been reading alot about substance use and bi-polar. From what I have read, It makes bi-polar worse. I am starting to believe this.
