You just pissed me off!

HAHAHAHA!

Yup, it's a bipolar thang.... stick around you'll see it here on the boards. I love this place because of the traits i see in me reflected on the board

I think everyone feels this way to a certain extent from time to time, but BP's act and react much more vividly.

Yep! and it gets worse during that time of the month! Thank God for Medication!!!

yes, it's also part of bp. Sometimes manic can come out as angry. Most of the time it's because we were previously afraid to let anyone be unhappy, and now we're angry because it's been bottled up for a very long time...just had an angry attack last week - 4 days - 10 times worse than pms

Yes....i swear sometimes I see blood and fire! I get so worked up sometimes over little things that I realize I am way out of control and need to bring it on down.

Honestly, I do go through those periods, but I almost never turn mean towards anyone else or get bitchy towards anyone in particular. I did get bitchy with the therapist at the hospital, but she too was a bitch who hated me from the very start because I wouldn't allow her to do what she wanted to do with calling my mom.

Almost always, I get angry but keep what I feel to say to myself. To be perfectly honest, the very worst of me has come out here in the Bipolar Community. When I'm not here getting pissed off and lashing out at whoever pissed me off, I'm out there in the world keeping everything inside. Believe it or not, it's the truth.

All I can tell you is you are NOT alone!

often

Yes is it ever a problem and it seems to especially be a problem around the full moon!!! I've really been argumenative with someone who I felt was "playing me" and I haven't been nice about it...Sometimes I just get too angry...I wonder about the words Crazy and Mad and then Mad for Angry is it all the same thing????

i felt that day once last week i am changing to abilify from risperidone and wondered if it had something to do with the drugs

And this is a problem because why? LOL!

Yup, stres, and holidays bring it on...for me. I think I might just disappear for Christmas...that will be my gift.

I used to experience phases like this all the time and still do to some degree when I am hypo manic agitated. I have learned many coping skills to work through those phases so I dont feel this way. I hope you can find a way to avoid these feelings, I know how uncomfortable they make me. Hugs, Shelly
