As someone with bipolar, I love drinking, smoking, etc. It takes way the edge, makes me feel better. But I can recognize how it affects my personality to others, I'm more aggressive, more irritable, more of a dick to be blunt. But to me, alcohol just makes me feel more... *raw* As much as it makes me relax, it does seem to put my nerves at the forefront, if that makes sense. I'm easier to get along with, but easier to set off at the same time. I feel more AND less bipolar. Does anyone else know what I mean? Just looking for an open ear tn, as usual
