I get kind of manic and the whole world seems like a fun fair. Everything seems like a good idea. And for a while when I'm not too drunk, I get wittier (though also more likely to say stupid shit I will cringe at later, obviously).

However, I have to be careful when I drink, because if I get too drunk, sometimes I go into a really intense depressive episode. Like, crazy, scary intense. I lose all perspective, and every sad or horrible thing I can think of starts seeping into my brain all at once. It's horrifying while I'm in it, and then the next day when I start to come out of it, it's incredibly unnerving and sometimes mortifying.

I rarely drink these days, though.
