Losing your temper and behavior affected by bipolar

Postby quietgirl2538 » Sat Jul 26, 2014 5:43 pm

I've seen in the past my emotions are intense when I am very upset. Emotionally distraught, super angry beyond reason, and anything I can't think of right now. A few minutes ago my head hurt from the anger and impatience I showed to a person on the phone. I am not depressed anymore, and my calm self is gone for now. My intense emotionally driven self is here and it's such reactions as these that have me going from mood to mood so quickly. Can you describe yourself and your mood swings. I feel as if I'm out of control and what I feel won't calm down and it goes away only slowly.

I used to be scarey at times to other people who dont know me. But im alot better than i used to be in the older days because of meds.
My behaviors and moods are affected by many things. Meds, me, people, noises etc. My moods and behaviors can change in minutes or seconds. Its combination of BP, OCD and BPD issues so i cant say its all from BP.

I used to be a ranting raving loon in my younger years. I wouldn't just scare others, I would scare myself at the anger and rage that came out of me. That was a long time ago and way before I went to a doc and got on meds.

Anything would set me off, loud typing on a keyboard, someone eating loud next to my desk at work (yea that went well), to my making an error on something. I am really surprised I never ended up at the end of a police questioning at time just because of the intensity of my feelings, emotions and actions.

Rapid cycling is what it sounds like to me that you are describing a well. That sucks. I did that during certain times the past and that just sucks cause I felt like I could not control anything at all about myself.

Hope this helps you. Good luck.

This is how I am.

poisonbutterfly,
