Misliz:
I agree. I too did street drugs and used alcohol to self medicate. I too didn't know I was bipolar. I even met my husband of 14 years in AA. I have since discovered that I am not alcoholic. I am on mood stabilizers and closer to a normal life than I have ever been.Marie and all who think opiates are the answer to depression:
Opiates are the wrong way to go. They do give a short term sense of euphoria and disinhibition that feels as if the depression is lifted but it only returns upon coming down from the drug and you are soon addicted. It's a long way back home from that place.Do find a good psychiatrist (NOT your family M.D.) and find what is really wrong. Do the research and become involved in your own recovery.
Hoping you find answers...
