Meh

So, I had a really hard day yesterday. I am bipolar and had a hypomanic day (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypomania).

For me drinking was a way to get out of my body, to quell any feelings of discomfort that were arising. Yesterday, I chose not to do that, and now I feel a malaise that I can't shake. I know drinking is not the answer, but I am so insufferably "meh."

I am going to see my therapist today, because my coping with alcohol is no longer an option. I have to ride out these feelings or sheer ambivalence towards life.

Do any of you experience this? And if so, what do you do?
