I was diagnosed about a month ago with bipolar 2. I was severely depressed and extremely irritable! I would snap at the slightest thing and I got put on Lamictal. I've been doing all right, but I still screw up a lot and say stuff I really shouldn't without realizing it at first. Does anyone have any thoughts or suggestions about how to stop myself before I snap? I'm really having trouble controlling it lately and its getting me in some trouble. My therapist has made some suggestions, but it doesn't seem to work. Does anyone have any advice for a newbie?
