((((((((Busiemommie)))))))))

I get very irritable at times to and lash out, I don't know if it's my bipolar disorder, the PTSD, or some odd combination of both.

I've found when I start getting edgy, or snappy, I take a time out, nothing big or special, maybe find a quiet room to sit in and count to ten and do some breathing exercises, or I take myself outside and get some fresh air and remind myself that I am calm and in control of my behavior and what I do affects others.

I know sometimes it's hard to walk away when in a moment like you described, but sometimes it's best to remind ourselves and stepback, and come back when we are of clearer mind and sounder state (I struggle a lot with this when I am caring for my little sister)

I would mention this to your therapist and Pdoc, I hope all goes well and let us know how you are hun

Best Wishes
