One of my biggest issues is constant irritation. Not at the general world really , though that can happen also, mainly within my own four walls. Kids, Dog, Husband.
Three ways of looking at it...
Depression causing anger, irritation, lack of following through and inability to concentrate
Bipolar/Hypomania Causing anger, irritation, lack of following through and inability to concentrate
BPD causing anger, irritation, lack of following through and inability to concentrate
ADHD -- but wants to rule out mood disorder before diagnosing with that.
The BPD diagnosis is given because of the quick shift in mood that can occur, detatchment, splitting and some other things that i cant remember. although I am generally quick to anger and be mad, I can also be suddenly goofy and ridiculous.. though that could be part of hypomania I suppose
My paperwork lists-
I have an Axis 1 Major depressive disorder (in partial remission) with affect instability caused by BPD or Bipolar, (even the psych wasn't quite sure on that one)
Axis 2 Borderline Personality Disorder Cluster B traits
ANYHOO, being mad alot and yelling, cursing getting exasperated is a big thing for me. No idea what it is stemming from right now, but Dr wants to treat with a mood stabilizer, arguing that it can be helpful for both BPD and BiP.
Does anyone have experiences with anger issues and has anyone found a medication or combo that worked well for them?
