Thanks Mars.
It was sometime back. My husband caught me by the belt loop of my pants. Thank heavens I didn't cause an accident. But he drove me home to switch cars and directly to hospital.

Last year was bad.
This year I've been in Costa Rica. I've only had one episode here in 20 years. So usually this is a safe place for me to be.

I'm also off opioids. This keeps me more stable. But if they could make a mild opioid mixed with something it would work very well for treatment.

But I suppose people who suffer bipolar self medicate with cocaine too, my brother did for years. He ran into trouble when he switched to crystal meth. Big trouble. That stuff eats your teeth!
