Due to my bipolar 2, the day after drinking, I feel so depressed that it occasionally lasts for several days. Like, I regret everything I did, did I accidentally overshare, will people judge me, and get mood swings all day. I've tried to quit but sometimes I need it to socialize and I rarely ever drink when I'm by myself, which is why I don't think I might have an addiction. What should I do? Does anyone else feel the same, or is it just me?

Hi @sunnysideup

How are you feeling today?

I think what you are describing is actually very common feeling after drinking for people with and without bipolar. I will tag some Carenity members who may be able to give you some advice on how they navigate these situations.

@Rockinrobynne @Sofiacastillo @John7979 @donaldcoomer28 @Rissa1972 @Art813 @Terternat @Neatie @Inpruvi @HALBEL @OwenOchoa @Zoebarr @Jlbekfi123 @AliceGrace84 @Richyboy @Suzanne95 @Echointhestars @LICladee @Lavarda @beepbeep3 @Jeannbean77 @kgumus @Iliketurtles83 @morgueticia @ricksarnold @LindaSherrill @Spresinger @Tstoker33 @Powernerd @MysticChi @mrscarone @Tescott1981 @Country115 @hundal

When you drink, do you get hangover symptoms like anxiety and depression? Do you feel the need for alcohol when socializing? Do you have any suggestions for how to navigate the situation @sunnysideup is describing?

Take care,

Lizzi from the Carenity team
