I wasn't sure where to put this in the forums... I don't know what is the cause behind all this strange behavior for me. I invited someone I had talked to online to my home. I started drinking again; binging here and there. I met up with someone I took a class with and he invited me to this party. I expected the drinking but ended up smoking marijuana probly five or so times in the course of 4 hours; then did half a line of coke because it was there and offered to me; so, I said sure why not. They told me it was good and that I'd like it. So I tried it. I then contacted another guy who I had talked to for a while and am waiting for him to show up. We discussed wanting to party and have sex. This is all not me as far as upbringing and what not. I thought I was through this phase of doing stupid things really. Does anyone have any insight as to what this could be? I have quite a list of diagnoses: schizoaffective disorder bipolar type, ocd, ptsd, panic, bpd, and some have said the possibility of alcohol dependence- recently found out about the last one... Thanks

It seems to me you're desperate for distraction. Distraction from what is my question. When you find out what it is you want to be distracted from, let us know...

Evil -

It's not insanity; rather, it's escapism. When we do harmful or distructive behaviors to ourselves (drugs, alcohol, harmful sex) it's because we are trying to bury the feelings that are making us feel bad.

It's not a teenage thing cause I did some of these up until I was 39 when I got sober.

Talk to a therapist to see if you can get to your feelings of lack of self worth and why you want to do this behavior. Your certainly not abnormal though - I think we all do this.

Tranquility

I sometimes go through times of impulsiveness. Impulsive behavior is difficult to deal with. I have found meds help out with it. Maybe you could talk with a pdoc about it.
