Hi Caper,
You've got it going on. Sounds like Bipolar I to me without a doubt. The alcohol is a way of self medicating, but I would listen to your doc and get on a mood stabilizer immediately. I would do as much research as you possibly can on Bipolar I so you can better understand the disease. You should also get yourself into counseling and keep a mood chart so that you can track how you're doing on your own, and identify the triggers that make you want to engage in irrational behavior.
Best of luck,
starlight
