are you just now starting medication? the lithium should help with the anger issues.

yeah 10 days ago...

I get that way when I am hypo manic and I hate it. It happens alot less often now than it used to. The Lithium should help stabilize your cycles. Sorry you are feeling this way. You are in my prayers. Hugs

I was told my Anger comes from my BPD but my BP does definantly push it along... and my meds havent helped thus far

thankyou....you are such a lovely thing....how is your son doing?? out of jail yet??

I also have Bipolar and started taking Lithium 5wks ago with notthing else. The Lithium has stopped my cycling and had helped me to stay calm and peacful. but...I too get angry and am very annoyed with the "normal" people around me, the world really is a mess out there. I don't know if the Lithium will work and I hope it works for you. Love and Prayers Ramona xoxoxoxoox

I have been taking lithium for 4 years, sometimes it helps, I get angry ,but I try to control myself.

I don't take medication for anything...because the only thing I've ever been "diagnosed" with, is ADHD(Hypoactive). That was when I was like...4/5 years old.

But my anger can get pretty bad...but after a few minutes...I'm happy. Then, I'm sad...then, I'm happy, then I'm mad...then...I'm unemotional whatsoever. Then...I'm meh. Then, I'm happy again. Or mad...depends.

youare really moody.

You should see me on a bad day. This is a good day.

getting angry and hypomania are like two peas in a pod. I've leveled on Depakote, hope the same happens for you on Lithium.

On another note...look at part of your quote, it reads like Catch 22. Certainly sums up how I feel sometimes

".i can see how the world is so violent....people are so fucking annoying... "

people are annoying, so there is violence, then the cycle starts again. or maybe not

no i hear you...

Years ago before I was dx I went through a stage where I was really angry for no apparant reason. As time went on, my anger lessened and ended up too depressed to be angry.

I started taking lithium about 10 or 12 weeks ago, and it is only recently (last few days) that I feel my anger coming back. So, I don't know what to advise you. I'm still continuing with the lithium for the next couple of weeks to see if I level out. If not, I am going to discontinue it.

I wish I could be of more help.

no no...thats good....i have joined the anger managment community but theres never anyone aroud there t talk to!...i m just not sure if it part and parcel with bp???
