I'm not sure how typical this is for bipolar (I'm still newly dx, and even now I think my doc is on the fence regarding the dx)

I spend most of my life depressed. I then have a few days where I'm numb, then maybe "normal" and then I start getting terribly aggressive. I snap at everyone, including my bf of 4 years I live with, my work colleagues... ANYONE.

I feel I can take on the world, any project, any problem - I WILL get to the bottom of it. But this confidence becomes aggression pretty quickly, which leads to a horrible cycle of me feeling bad about my actions and pretty soon I land up in depression again.

Right now I am INCREDIBLY snappy! And am beginning to hate myself
