Bipolar Disorder Support Group
Bipolar disorder is not just a single disorder, but a category of mood disorders marked by periods of abnormally high energy and euphoria, often accompanied by bouts of clinical depression. This is the place to talk about your experience with bipolar disorder, learn from others' experiences, and find support.
Well, I've just had an interesting experience. Maybe you can shed some light on it for me. I've been happy recently having landed a great job and went to look at a room in a new house this evening.
The people there were very friendly and we chatted for a bit, I liked the house and they said they'd like me to move in. I was pleased with the whole thing. But by the time I got back to my present house I was furious, I was snappy, abusive, I had to do a double take- wtf was wrong with me.
I thought about it a bit and realised the house probably wouldn't suit me as it was quite crowded and I like my space- I need space for my weird habits.
But it was strange how I hadn't thought about that at the time- maybe I got too carried away with the chatting and stuff- but it's strange how I got incredibly angry and only later realised why.
I get that way when I feel people encroach on my space and I think that something in my subconcious was warning me. I think there is big discrepancy between what I want and what whatever is driving my BP wants, and that part of me was communicating with me today by giving me a warning that there would be trouble if I did what my impulses wanted me to do.
That must sound nuts- but I think I'm onto something. Have you guys had any similar experiences?

I find if I get caught up in the emotion of something, two days later "ding ding ding ding" why am I doing that???
We can be a tad impulsive. I try to make myself wait a couple days before saying yes or no to something.
I am feeling that way now!!!
Just know i am with you on this.... Don't decide today give it a couple days.
Even when Its nice and chatty somehow I know that something is wrong and the anxiety starts and I end whatever I was trying to start. It's only when I ignore the feeling that I get into trouble.
