I am sorry you're in a lousy place. I also get really irritable and mean when I'm manic. Try to stay away from added stressors in your life. Try to get 8 hours of sleep, drink lots of water & stay away from alcohol or loads of coffee.

Can you take a medical leave from work? Because of HIPPA laws they can't ask why or what your problem is I'm pretty sure.

Peace & Hugs,

TnT
