Am I loosing my temper because I don't know how to handle it, or is it my bi-polar? I understand that some of it is because my 5yr old is spoiled to some degree.

SOMEONE HELP ME!!!

Help is out there. Talking on here might calm you but it won't change your mood or behavior. Since you are starting to lose control with your child (I am sure you didn't intend to shake him) you really need to see a therapist to learn coping skills to deal with your irritability and for child rearing.
