A question about moods

I have the normal BP rage thing. When I am manic I can flash into this total psycho bitch capable of taking out an entire city block with one swipe of her evil tongue. (Figuratively, of course)

But there are times, like now, when I am just tooling along, feeling tired but ok and WHAM psycho bitch comes raging to the forefront.

I am not manic, depressed but not deeply and I cannot figure out for the life of me why I am such a fucking asshole! I am shaking at times I am so angry.

Anyone else?

I get the rage. I used to, anyway. meds seem to have toned it down a bit.

for me the rage was part of dysphoric episodes. hell.

OOh Ya - I've been there. I think it's a matter of discovering your triggers and once you know what sets you off then you can either stay away from those situations and/or people..or if you can't do that then just take a time out to chill for a couple minutes and think about your actions because once you get going it's like a momentum builds and it keeps feeding itself so try to catch it and stop it before it starts

It sounds like your manic to me. There are signs that can be confusing between the two. I had what I thought was a Depressive episode that turned out to be manic.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
