Hello...
Thanks for this.
My wife is so fed up with me and my antics that she won't give me space to go through things. The other day I told her that I was on the verge of something very self destructive and she said 'there's no room for that', she thinks I am just being selfish. Ah! On the one hand, I have had this going on for years without treating it, and I have regarded my hypomania as pure genius, and dragged our family into all kinds of craziness because of that, so I feel for her. At the same time, how else can I manage this than to see it and make space to handle it?
How was that process for you, getting your family on your side to support you in your management of this?

I got totally hysterical and had to contact my therapist.
I also get extremely irritable and usually take it out on my stepson. I worked with my therapist and husband to let my husband handle all the discipline and I remove myself from the situation otherwise I say nasty things and yell. I try to stay away from people when I'm like that and I warn my family.
