Drug Users and Bi Polar/Manic Depression

With my drug use... When I'm manic, yeah, I just feel a craving for anything and everything and will basically take whatever I can get. When I'm depressive I just either crave alcohol, or am too out of it to care about drugs.

Interesting, I'm kind of similar. During the times I have been hypomanic, I will take pretty much drug available, whereas if I'm depressed or euthymic I usually don't like cannabis, benzos, cocaine, etc...opiates and alcohol are normally the only thing I like. Does anyone else notice a corresponding change in the types of drugs they take with particular mood states?
 
not me personally, but it certainly makes sense, seeing how people who are on average 'in' a manic state become very upset, and may express feeling robed of their creativity and/or motivation once stabilized.

i experience this, and as much i accomplishe(d) in such a state, there is an uncomfortable amount of angst, and a questionable sense of urgency; that is not to fun,, and ¡easily! forgotten or overlOOked.

when i become rapid, and am going into psychosis, drugs are rediculous to me. when i "blank “ out in defense from the rapid cycling, drugs do not matter when i am in jibbering senseless psychosis, where time is all in every one elses heads, every thing is 2-D except for what im experiencing... for me personally marijuana does some amazing things as far as giving me glimpses off reality, and moments where what actually is happening and in reality needs to be done, is clear.
