You present as the most typical person with bipolar disorder I think I've ever read. As another poster said, bipolar in young people usually begins with aggressive acts, and 60% of bipolar disordered people have comorbid substance abuse problems. Get thee to a bipolar specialist, who will recommend getting off alcohol and in all probability stopping ADs. I am so sorry you are suffering, but I have very much been where you are now (and dxed bp 1, panic disorder, PTSD and dissociative which all group together). My drug of choice was cocaine, but once I was on the right meds and receiving the right therapy, it wasn't that difficult to stop. You are in my prayers- judy
