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.
Before I was on my medication I would often get, "Flash Angry" I would be on the phone at work and if something went wrong I would start smashing the phone......or the monitor or punch the wall.....generally destroying anything I could get my hands on. This was accepted because I produced for my companies and it became folklore.
Once I have been on my meds I have complete stopped doing this until a month ago when I started back to work and I have started to these angry flashes....question do my meds need to be adjusted or is work setting me off?

But this is more than likely a combo of both needing meds adjusted but I think it is clear that your job is a trigger for you. Meds can help change the chemical imbalances that cause you to lose it like that but you still need to make an effort to control your behavior that goes with it. You need both meds and therapy to get the best most balanced results.
As RITKat said...I'd call your Pdoc
Good luck
Whether it's work or whether it's you, I think you probably should get a med adjustment, so that you don't react that way.
Good luck!! I hope it doesn't take too long to get you back to your best self!!! (((((Hugs)))))
