I can't stand ANYONE lately

Postby mindykay » Thu Nov 01, 2012 6:14 pm

This has been going on for a week or so, I imagine it's related to bipolar, thought I'd check to see if it's just me or more common.

Everyone is absolutely getting on my every last nerve lately. I feel angry at anyone who needs the smallest thing from me. I mean, I feel like cursing all the time (I am a devout Christian, so this is NOT normal for me), and sometimes I do under my breath or in my head. I could just bite everyone's head off. Like "LEAVE ME THE BLEEP ALONE!!!"

I am very irritable lately. I feel like I want to smoke (I have been sneaking cigarettes this week), and the urge to do something radical is there, like just curse out someone, or I don't know, go get drunk in a bar. I am a pretty straightlaced person, not prone to do things like this. Occasionally I get a rebellious streak though.

I think I'm maybe in a mixed state. I don't know, I'm anti-social right now, depressed (not too much, not debilitating), but I'm VERY agitated and kind of angry, like stop putting your rules and regulations on me.

I struggle with the same issues (especially when im not on my meds). The REAL question is what are we REALLY angry about? I am doing therapy to answer just that question. When you really think about it..someone asking you for this or that should not set us off. So Im going back 30 years to answer that question and resolve it.

What helps me with anger is exercise, and I mean heavy weights and hitting things... On the weekends, when I haven't gone to the gym WHOLE TWO DAYS I find myself having weird thoughts about hitting people. Not nice. And not caused by anything in particular. They just shouldn't go around existing like that.

Also I got manic last week for a few hours and I wanted to hit people for making fun of me by speaking so slowly (i.e. at normal pace, unlike myself)
