I had a pretty bad hypomanic episode and got really drunk and disclosed way too much about myself.
My friends say that it's fine and that they don't judge me, but I can't quit hating myself and feeling guilty  I know that I am going to get a lecture about drinking. I know that I'm seeking advice/support here, but I'd rather not go there. I'm in college, am fine 90% of the time, and don't need to make myself even more different than I am. I just want to run away

Don't feel too guilty about it. You're far from the only one to ever drink too much then spew something better left unsaid. I've definitely done it. Plus, there isn't much use in feeling guilty about it. Your friend said it was all good, plus feeling guilty is only going to hurt yourself, it can't unsay what was said. I would try not to worry about it overmuch.

Hopefully you don't deal with this like I did. Drinking more. I hope you feel better….

I felt this way too when I had my first manic episode. I would annoy the hell out of my friends and make them really uncomfortable. I got speeding tickets, ruined my relationship with my best friend of 5 years, and spent 1000 dollars in 2 weeks.
I was beating myself over the stupid things I did while manic but then I started telling myself I really wouldn't have done that stuff if I didn't have this illness. Sure it doesn't excuse my behavior but it does explain it.

I don't think "disclosing way too much about yourself" makes you a "jackass". I've told people things they didn't need to know about me completely sober, and outside of a mood episode! There have been negative consequences in a few of these cases, but for the most part my "over-sharing" has been advantageous. Intimate friendships are founded on mutual vulnerability. You can't have a deep friendship if you are keeping secrets about you from your friends.
You're not a bad person for this.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
