I have to agree about the anger. Being angry and wanting to hurt people doesn't necessarily rule out BP. I don't usually have a problem sleeping, either, and that's only one of many symptoms anyway. Trust your doctor for now anyway, and try to see the diagnosis as a tool to help you feel better. Are you on meds? That can help a lot. Therapy, too.

It's apparent you have a lot of anger to resolve. And just for my two cents worth - you're right, it sucks and it's not fair. We can't change that, but we can change what we do about it. That's what treatment is all about - it helps.

It also seems like you focus a lot of your anger towards people you have a poor opinion about. That's your choice, of course, but I can tell you that they are probably not going to change because of your anger, and the time you spend being angry at them is time you can use to help yourself. I know this because I spent many years resenting and hating people. I wish I hadn't wasted all that time.

I wish you well and I'm sending lots of positive, peaceful vibes your way..
