Hi Fuscia,
I forgot to answer a couple of your questions... must be the ADD ;)
I have a craving for alcohol. I gave it up because it makes my depressed a couple of days after I get drunk (mood elevated the morning after, though), but I used to binge drink every weekend. To this day, I crave beer when I think about it. I don't think I'm an alcoholic or anything but alcohol and I definitely have a special relationship. I avoid caffeine, too. But as I remember, drinking coffee always used to result in me cleaning or organizing. Not really in a hypomanic way but maybe in a good way. However, my impression was always that it was a very extreme reaction and that I was very sensitive to caffeine.
