I am still hypomanic, but yesterday I met with one of my best friends who is leaving to London for three months and we said goodbye. We got drunk and went to a party. Now that I am not touching alcohol more than once a week I realize how it kept me in depression, because today it totally got me down and my mood changed to feeling still energetic but sad and miserable and lonely. I have been hypomanic for at least two weeks,I guess far more and I am so afraid to crash now, moreover because the guy I have been going out with for the past three months is going back to Mexico on Tuesday. I am loosing two of my clostest persons here at once. I already start to feel that nothing makes sense and am incredibly stressed out. I don't want to slide back into depression.

I am sorry to hear that you're going through all that at once, I can only imagine how hard it is. You might want to talk to your pdoc about how you're feeling. Just a thought.

I second the Pdoc idea. That's a lot especially this time of year.

i think anyone would be generally sad in your situation.
Regardless of Bipolar...I only think when we have Bipolar we have to be a little more careful..with just how sad we get.

I won't see my pdoc until January, but I can talk to my psychologist on Monday and will. I also think it is a reason to get sad and rather thought it was strange that I was doing so well before. When I get sad I sometimes get normal sad, like anyone else would and when I crash I et suicidal thoughts and self-harm ideas, which I link to bipolar. I just don't wanna go back there but I also know that this often is the price we pay for flying so high during mania or hypomania. Right now I am just reaching out, because telling helps.

I'm glad you're reaching out. Talking to your therapist is a good idea too.
