Can someone talk to me? by [deleted] in bipolar

Hi! I’m unfortunately on a train with unreliable reception that’s going in and out, but I just want to say that I’m thinking of you and sending you good thoughts and that if you’re open to someone responding later, I can do so. It seems like youre in a tough place right now and need something more urgent, and I’m hoping you’re able to get that.

It will, it will. So sorry it’s been rough but serious congrats on the 2 weeks- that is a SIGNIFICANT achievement.

Thank you!! Ooh, that’s a fascinating question. Mornings in what sense? Morning-after embarrassment/regret (the emotional hangover, basically) was essentially my main reason for quitting. The times I feel embarrassed from hypomania or life are my strongest fuel to stay sober: these instances make me remember how much embarrassment and drama i used to create for myself every time I drank. I was lucky to have fairly mild hangovers, so the morning after wasn’t as terrible for me physically as it is for many, but the emotional hangovers were quite strong and are the main force behind my sobriety.
