I have to admit i had so much fun in june going to the club with this drug dealer friends who drinks a lot, i had 2 cocktails and it was wild fun, also approached girl and ended up getting the 17yo smoking hot girl number i talked about in another thread
I have bipolar disorder and take meds, now I'm dealing with the rebound effect of alcohol, depression and suicide thoughts
I can't drink but i still want to get that kind of fun you can't get sober, tried 3g phenibut and didn't work
In europe weed is illegal, edibles are illegal, i can buy a joint in the street but it makes feel like shit, no high just weak knees and vomit
I'm trying to find some good weed to vape whitout tobacco, vaping doesn't create the harmful chemicals of combustion, i also avoid tobacco which doesn't mix well with bipolar brain
I have some anxiety for tonight, i don't know if i will find my friend and if i will be able to approach

Go to a nightclub 10 times, for entire night. These 10 times, do not go there to pickup, game, or socialize only to be an observer. Pick a good spot/ table, buy a few drinks, sit, relax and observe the environment, the people. The goal is to get accustomed to the place, the pace of the night, the flashing lights and the loudness - all this is to deconstruct/disprove the perception that the nightblub is a special place where special people go.
As for approach anxiety - the only way is to approach a lot.

This is what did. Forced myself to approach sober for 5 weeks straight before allowing myself the ability to drink. Now i have drinks when a girl asks to do shots or as excuses to isolate or if i have some other compelling reason to relax my nerves besides just drinking just to drink

Ding ding ding ^^^ right here OP. Getting used to the environment takes time and it’s normal to feel uneasy in new environments.

I think you’re doing just fine bud. I wouldn’t worry about it. If I were you, I’d try to dance with women. Nudge them on their arm and signal them to dance. Have fun. That’s ALL you’re there for.
But I’ll admit, if you’re not having fun then maybe find a different venue that caters to what you like. Some nights, I just like going to bars that don’t have any dancing and just play heavy metal. Some places are also super lame with the tunes they play but you’re going to have to FORCE yourself to have stupid-stress free- fun.

Call your doctor and see the effects of mixing booze with your prescription. It’s possible that if you keep doing it, you can damage your brain.
My mother had breast cancer and she drank a lot with the prescription drugs. After years of doing that, she takes a long time to form sentences and sometimes has to stop mid sentence to think of what to say. It’s basically brain fog.
As for anxiety, I’d say drink a little then try to focus on your night and no one else’s. That will naturally make you at ease.
