Alcohol withdrawal, stress, bipolar, depressive, anxiety?

I can’t take even the smallest thing. I have one and a half day sober (after going on nearly 9 day drinking binges, not to mention I am very bipolar and have been off meds for almost a year now and going through terrible emotional stress)…but my question is…I have been having outbursts and I can’t sleep. I can stay up for around 40 hours give or take. My sobriety period I was up for 2 and a half days. I was very emotional for 4 days and had crying outbursts. I know stress could have something to do with it, and I know bipolar could have a lot to do with it, but I was told that alcohol leaves your system after like 3 days. At least. Does alcohol have anything to do with this? I can’t take the smallest little insult or flippy remark and I feel very destructive and violent and go through uncontrollable crying outbursts that I feel like I can’t control. I don’t feel like anyone understands it at all and never did yet they keep deliberately doing it. Even people who were there for me when I was just fine, now I am at my worst and they are treating me like ****. I keep uncontrollably crying and nobody gives a ****. I try to keep it to myself but I can’t anymore! What is this!? I am so embarrassed! I used to be able to hold it in so well!

You are going through alcohol withdrawal. It can last 3 days or more. I had a friend who drank three 750ml bottles of liquor a day and quit cold turkey and he threw up an had fevers and chills and hallucinations and everything for almost a week. Quitting abruptly can kill you if your body is used to that much alcohol.

It definitely pounds like you are in a manic state right now. We both now that medication would help rectify the situation. The alcohol withdrawal could be very serious if you are having shaking symptoms and other physical withdrawal symptoms. If so than your blood pressure is spiking and you should look into immeate assistance from a local detox program or hospital. Living with someone bi polar, I also know that sometimes after a long break in mess the quickest way to feel some sort of balance in to check into a in patient mental health facility. I have seen it work and I know it isn’t the most popular thing to do but if it could give you some emotional and physical relief wouldn’t it be worth it?
