[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sounds like bipolar and an alcohol problem[/quote]

Op here.  Bipolar - no.  Major depression and anxiety, yes.  Alcohol problem - maybe.  Though I have t been a regular or heavy drinker for years - once or twice a year I might go out and get pretty drunk.  That just happened to be one of those times.  Anyway, I'm not drinking at all now.[/quote]

The drinking seems to be a bit of a red herring. Doesn't sound like you were drinking until you blacked out. Sounds like someone spiked your drink. So, the alcohol had very little to do with it. The drug had a lot to do with it. [/quote]

Op here - maybe so.  I had more than just that one drink - not a ton but more than I was used to (2-1/2 glasses of wine). It felt different than just being really drunk though in that it happened fast and it was complete blackout.  No recall even though I know I was operating (video from the bar showed me leaving with the assailant).  Then I sort of "came to" several hours later.  But I've been blacked out drunk before - the high school time was like that too.  Though now that I think about it, it's possible I was drugged then as well.  But I have no proof. And even if I wasn't drugged and it was just that I was really really drunk, does that change things?  For my husband, it is a key fact.  For me, not so much.  We will never know for sure.  Either way, it was terrible.

And I just had a stupid blowout fight with my husband over nothing serious.  I overreacted to a minor and semi-valid criticism.  This stuff on my mind has me so on edge.  I really appreciate everyone's responses - even those that I didht agree with or that hurt a bit to hear.  Signing off on this thread - hopefully I'll be in a position to come back with a positive update in not too long.  Fingers crossed - I have my work cut out for me.[/quote]
