Is it addiction that’s hurting you or his mental health? I can speak first hand that neither is fun and he’s suffering. The best thing you can do is support him and hope he comes around. That doesn’t mean enable him, but just show him that he has a safe place to go. That’s what this whole podcast is about, bringing people together so we can have these talks and help each other. I’d like to know more so if you’d like to email me we can talk more. I hope you and your brother are doing well and you’re in my thoughts!
Im going thru it rn 😔 im bipolar and an alcoholic. I need quit to alcohol completely. Since a kid i knew i was abnormal. Ive been bipolar but never been helped. As an adult now its killing me. Ive lost so much. Due to me being bipolar. I never seeked help or treatment. Its tough not easy. Some people have said that im faking it but only i know what i feel inside i feel so empty and depressed and my anxiety is horrible. 😔 its sucks bieng like this
Since I got my diagnosis, I've noticed the same issue with other individuals who struggle with Bipolar Disorder that we go manic when we have alcohol. I have Bipolar-1 and found myself slipping into manic episode's for a week. I wasn't an alcoholic in the sense I drank everyday. I only drank on Friday or Saturday night. But when I did drink I drank 2 bottles of Patron. 1 in shots and drinks at the bar and I bought one to go for a party. I'm so glad I quit alcohol after seeing a Psychologist. 1000 days sober next month 🙂
Congrats on the sober days! Thats amazing! I’d like to find a study about alcohol triggering manic episodes. Like if that’s a common thing. I’m just glad to know it wasn’t just me it happened too! Thanks for sharing that!
That's me. 😔 I'm bipolar. And need to quit alcohol. I lost so much to alcohol. Scared to get checked for bipolar. I know I have it. I'm abnormal. But never gotten help. 😔 it's sucks having it
Thank you. I hope my brother finds his way and stop abusing us ❤
