I was reading some of the dicussions on the topic of rages and I came across yet another person that says, "Don't use Bi-polar dissorder as an excuse for bad behavior" I would like to know where you draw the line between bad behavior and legitimate bi-polar symptoms,rages,whatever. In my normal state I am a very loving,sweet compassionate person. I have spent most of my life not knowing that I am sick.I have done many things in my life that I regret.Not knowing that there was anything wrong,I grew up believing that I was bad,wierd,irresponsible,immature,etc. I have virtually no self-esteem left.Finding out that I am bi-polar was a relief. I finally knew why I was so different from everyone else and that I wasn't a bad person.So these people that so easily say "Don't use this as an excuse" are slapping me in the face and saying that it isn't my illness,everything is my fault and I am a BAD person!!

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...
Others will disagree and that is fine. You know what they say about opinions and assholes. Everyone has one and some stink.
I can not control my temper at times, it just spews out of me, but I can control how I handle it after, like apologizing.
