Coco,

Situational makes perfect sense to me... X happened and I get mad.

Mania for me is: anger mad hateful hot mess of ugliness.

But in between "known mania" I have moments of Anger ( why I started this thread)

My T has assured me that anger is indeed part of Bipolar. There is often nothing that causes it , it just happens ... Yeah I was still confused He asked me if I have ever just had a "tearful sad day" Of course I have .. He said Anger can and will pop up in the same manner. Emotions are emotions.
