When I get overly frustrated I basically beat my self up. Really I punch myself. Is this from the Bipolar? Does anyone else do that? I am mortified to even ask but I just want to understand and feel I scream and yell throw things. I just blow at times and I hate it but cant help it. I get in a rage..ten its over....

Meds adjustment sounds in order here.

Yes, manic rage stage! I have hurt myself many times just to ease the pain I'm feeling and sometimes still do, but not as often. Now, I usually just chop off my hair.

I too have slugged myself in my face. Not in public though. My wife freaks when I do this and I only do this when I am really mad at myself. I will slug and slug. Hurts like hell too.

    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...
