Fitting in has always played a huge part in my levels of self-esteem. Feeling lonely or isolated (and worrying my friends don’t actually like me) WRECKS me on an internal level. I’ve been prone to being overly generous (buying rounds of shots) in an unconscious move to try to buy people’s gratitude and approval. I use self-deprecating humor to lighten the mood and show I don’t take myself too seriously. If I’m not fun to be around, I worry people won’t want to spend time with me.

Is it like this for everyone? I feel like you're spying on my life with eerily accurate examples

As someone who is bipolar 1 with ADHD &amp; a variety of other fun issues, I can really empathize with this. Altho I was never an "abuser" per se, I was an "opportunistic" user. I was a binge user. Whatever the substance. I didn't go out for a drink, I went out to DRINK. However, being bipolar, it came and went so people never really caught on. I love your work. I stopped writing years ago because it became too much of a trigger. Your work is proving to be quite cathartic.

Thank you! I have bipolar II so we probably have a ton in common. I didn't really have an addiction problem, but I was the same way. When I did indulge, I over-indulged. Binge-drinking was a real problem for me in my early 20s. I didn't drink that often, but if I did I was the one buying rounds of shots for everyone I was with. I enjoy writing a lot but I had really convinced myself no one would care what I had to say. Didn't know if I was providing anything new to offer the world or if I was just complaining into the void, if that makes sense.

We are probably quite similar, I am just the older and more worn out version😊
