it's probably nothing

Hi, i’m an 18 year old boy and i got diagnosed with bipolar after an episode 5 months ago, i’m supposed to be okay now, but today i took a couple of drinks by myself and i just started crying In the shower for no reason, nothing bad is going on i don’t know what happened, has someone ever experienced something like this ? is it normal ?

Our emotions are very complex. Adding alcohol to the already complex emotions will at times create confusing experiences.

I would not consider your crying in the shower as normal, but I would not be overly concerned about this situation. Many things can contribute to extreme emotions, and a good cry can be beneficial.

I have found that alcohol is a drug that does not mix well with my mental health issues. I stay away from it completely. I am glad that you brought this issue to this forum, it is good to discuss this type of experience. I don’t think that you should worry about being normal, there is nothing normal about a teenage boy.

I would say stay away from alcohol until you feel well again :). Best of luck and stay strong, friend. xoxo
