Thanks for sharing that article SingDanceRunLife. I'm a little different though. I am more irritable in my manic episodes. That is actually how I got diagnosed BP. I was having a bad reaction to taking just antidepressants. Over time on the antidepressant I would get very aggitated and irritable. So much that I would quit taking my medicine. Anyway long story short, I haven't had much irritability since they started me on meds for BP. So I really hope that you can get on meds and leveled out soon. Keep on going, there is hope.
