I have periods of very high agitation and I don't have to feel manic for it to happen. There are days/weeks/months where everything that everyone does just rubs me the wrong way. Sometimes it happens happens because I am depressed or stressed out. Other times it just happens and I'm not entirely sure why. If it doesn't get any better you may want to talk to someone about adjusting or changing your meds, especially since you have children at home. I know as a mom I am often guilty of taking my agitation out on my son. And while I'm never anywhere near abusive it's certainly not the type of parent I want to be. Good luck!
