News of Intermittent Explosive Disorder Forum

Hello! My first great therapist over 30 years ago thought I had IED, which was at that time called Explosive Personality Disorder. But I was a few years later diagnosed with Cyclothymia, and finally Bipolar II. But my current psychiatrist says she thought from when she first met me several years ago that I don't have bipolar II, that I have IED.

It's late at night here, so I can't really talk to anyone now, ...

I don't even know what or who to talk to about this as I fear any psychologist will report me to the police.

She just moved to my area to be near me and my ...

Was a T-shirt i was given as a kid and by too many was told I was out of control. But, i wasn't.
Not even necessary to come up with rationales for whatever chaos exploded around me, as it was pretty obvious to anyone with eyes, what the causes were. So, it's not like it really was my fault. Not that I am blaming, precisely, but sort of. Sure, there were other choices that could ...
