I am new here. Between the depression and the rage of my bipolar II, I have managed to entirely depopulate my life. Through isolation over many years, I have lost and failed to make friends. My husband has left me over my rage, and my isolation; he said I do not get along with anybody. I managed to get through family Thanksgiving for the first in a long time. Then I went to best friend's Thanksgiving. Drunken mother started a political argument with me and I just lost it. They blamed me. I ended what was my last important friendship.
I feel like I just cannot endure being around other people, but I also feel totally crushed and alone.

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...
They tell me the rage is my manifestation of the manic phase. I startle easily, I had a rather shocking childhood. I think that is the psychological reason for the rage. Anyway, it is uncontrollable in my experience. The lamictal and avoiding other people does help.
Thank you for asking, by the way.
When you are in those moments you are protecting yourself. A freind should understand what you are dealing with in your life, and reach a hand. My mother too has started political arguments with people, then justified that it's her home so she should be considered right, and she was sober. Big sigh.
You'll get through it. You will make new freinds. People here will identify with you, and you will discover others that have the same issues you have.
Welcome to DS.
AAARRRGH!
Hang in there, though, please hang in there. It will get better. Trust me. It's already getting better.
Yes, I feel like a white light goes off in my head before I lose my temper like that.
Yep, marriage codependent. Husband full of rage too, but I am the 'identified patient.'
