I find it hard to diagnose because whenever I read about bipolar disorders, none of the material even come close to grasping the inner-workings of my brain.
The way my mood-swings are triggered, the amount of time they last. Neither of those things are relatable to the texts I read online about bipolar disorders.
Yet my mood-swings keep happening. People on this forum attribute my mood-swings to drugs, which is fair.
But it's not so much as that my mood-swings are caused by drugs, as much as that they are triggered by drugs.
Hope you can understand the difference. For example today: I woke up with a hangover. I used a lot of drugs yesterday (alcohol, 3 bottles of wine). Yes alcohol should be considered a 'hard-drug', you are coping if you believe otherwise.
The alcohol is already out of my system, it's gone when I wake up after 10 hours of sleep. So then why do I feel so energetic, so positive, so good today?!?
The alcohol TRIGGERED my manic episode in some sort of way?! but it's not influential during its existence.
It's very difficult to diagnose myself of the correct mental illness to be honest. I think I am some edge-case exception.
