The severity of my cursing is always inversely proportional to whatever it is that I'm raging about.

I spilled a beer the other night while manic, and I literally just yelled at the top of my lungs at it. As if it had done something wrong. I was responsible for spilling it. That's when I really know I'm manic, the outbursts of rage.

I'm glad I was at home alone at the time lol. Fortunately I think my episode has ended after like 3 weeks.

The rage is the worst with me too.

Combining alcohol with racing thoughts and reduced inhibition is risky. I’m not judging, I drink to self-medicate.

Oh yeah. It's not a good idea at all. I use alcohol to deal with my severe anxiety as well. It's a bad cycle that I know I need to deal with better. But when you're having a panic attack and you know alcohol will solve it quickly
