Спорт
I wanted to cover substance abuse and bipolar disorder. There’s a little info and some personal experience but the main thing is you’re not alone and there is hope.

Is it addiction that’s hurting you or his mental health? I can speak first hand that neither is fun and he’s suffering. The best thing you can do is support him and hope he comes around. That doesn’t mean enable him, but just show him that he has a safe place to go. That’s what this whole podcast is about, bringing people together so we can have these talks and help each other. I’d like to know more so if you’d like to email me we can talk more. I hope you and your brother are doing well and you’re in my thoughts!
Since I got my diagnosis, I've noticed the same issue with other individuals who struggle with Bipolar Disorder that we go manic when we have alcohol. I have Bipolar-1 and found myself slipping into manic episode's for a week. I wasn't an alcoholic in the sense I drank everyday. I only drank on Friday or Saturday night. But when I did drink I drank 2 bottles of Patron. 1 in shots and drinks at the bar and I bought one to go for a party. I'm so glad I quit alcohol after seeing a Psychologist. 1000 days sober next month 🙂

Congrats on the sober days! Thats amazing! I’d like to find a study about alcohol triggering manic episodes. Like if that’s a common thing. I’m just glad to know it wasn’t just me it happened too! Thanks for sharing that!
