About verbal attacks. I am so torn on this. This has been a problem for me. I have snapped at co-workers and other people when I've lost control and this has cost me relationships. My husband is understanding (and I always apologize). Most other people are not if I even dare tell them about the bipolar. I want to be responsible for my actions but how can I be responsible when I am out of control? It's like this monster takes control of me and ruins my life and I have to deal with it.
