Self-destructive behaviors can take several forms: severe substance abuse (that is, endangering one's health or safety with drinking or using drugs), very reckless behavior (such as dangerous driving), binge eating (including overeating and purging by vomiting or by using laxatives), and self-mutilation (for example, burning or cutting oneself). It might make sense to you that someone who is suffering would drink alcohol to the point of oblivion, to numb out from the pain. But often some of these other disturbing behaviors are very hard for partners of people with bipolar disorder to understand.
