I have just been recently diagnosed with bipolar so this whole diagnoses is rather new to me and I don't know everything that comes along with this wild ride known as the Bipolar Disorder. I was diagnosed this year (Early 2010) and ever since have been trying to find the right medicine that would finally stabilize my mood. It was a pain and literally exhausting to be searching for the medication. There were ups and downs and everything in-between. I finally think I found the right type of medicine. I am currently on 1000mg Depakote and 10mg Abilify for my bipolar though I take many other medications and vitamins to keep me functioning at an okay level. My mood swings have literally disappeared. However I can't seem to control my emotions at all. For instance I will flip about nothing and just start bawling uncontrollably. I have no control over what people like to call "staying calm in rough situations". I try my hardest but utterly fail at it. Example of this is today I didn't realize that I had moved my medicine back from my boyfriends apartment to my apartment and thought I had lost all my medicine (Scary right!) And I flipped ****. I immediately started blaming others thinking they stole my medication and I was crying uncontrollably and couldn't stop . I was yelling at everyone. Now is this because of my bipolar or is this what normal people experience? I mean this has been going on for as long as I can remember. Me getting angry. I even threatened to run my car into the tree or pole when we were driving back to my apartment to check to see if the medication was there. I just get so emotional so quick and it's hard to flip me off once this happens. I'm just curious if this is really because of bipolar or not because I thought I had found the right medication that would control every aspect of my life. Help please
