Forgot meds past couple of days, and really found out they are helping some. Still get angry and am impulsive, but not as bad as before I was diagnosed. I see pdoc tomor gonna see if meds need to be tweaked.

Before I was medicated I had episodes of anger and agitation. Now rarely get angry.

it doesn't make me more or less angry, it's just the way i am! If I'm upset, I'm angry. Frustrated, angry, dissapointed angry. BUT when I'm happy I'm really happy! Go figure (oh yeah, bipolar)

Anger in itself is not bad. There are things in life that should make us as angry as hell.

When anger becomes a standard reaction to everything in our lives, it is not healthy.

I am very slow to anger. I tend to avoid conflict if at all possible.

Typically if for some reason I am pushed to that boiling point, I do not hold back~~there is so much intensity inside me that I feel like the shrill whistle on a steam engine blowing off and piercing everyone's ears.

My anger doesn't manifest itself as physical violence; however, I can cut you to the bone with words~~I rarely use curse words, and I have been told that I rarely raise my voice~~though after I have said my peace I always feel as though I have been yelling.

A friend I have known my entire life says that you can literally see the emotion fly over me~~my body language, facial expression, tone of voice, everything suddenly changes and she says it catches people off guard and sometimes changes the dynamics in the room.

She jokingly tells me that if she hadn't known me forever she would be frightened to death of me. If I had not witnessed the exact same behavior in my Dad, I would probably think that she is just crazy, but I know I am very much my Dad's daughter. Once we say our peace, we are finished. The anger just fades away with the last few words. I always feel utterly drained afterwords, but I also have a great sense of relief.

No change for me. Anger Management is what saved me.

Even yr anger..management is green

BP2s don't get mad, they get even.
...Your turn....

right now i mood swing hard from anger tears and laughter.
dumb things make me lose it im hopeing that the meds will help and work because this is getting exhausting

I have mixed episodes a lot. During that time I get irritable, angry, I start rampaging. Its horrible for me and the people around me.

Depends on which side of manic I am on. If I am on the happy lunatic side I no anger. . .bad side and yes am angry and usually homicidal. . . .

I get angry a lot more since I delved into the abuse, but I always got angry frequently--maybe repressed it more.

I get all red when I'm angry so I can't hide it--people get freaked like I'm going to hit them, but it is just some autonomic response and doesn't mean I'm THAT angry. Anybody else get that?

I heard on tv recently that re: flight or fight--some people fight too much. That's my new motto--don't fight everything, pick your battles.

Before I got on mood stabilizers I was prone to fits of anger/rage. It's not that I don't get angry anymore, but I'm not throwing knives at people, road raging, throwing things across the room when frustrated, etc.

I still have rages of anger. When I was highly medicated I had no emotions what so ever, so even though I have anger that can get out of control i'd rather have that than a flat affect.
