I suffer from epic anger issues when I'm in a manic state and my pdoc says that can be normal in some people when they're in a manic episodes. The meds have helped and when I'm not in a manic stage my normal personality is very laid back, cool, calm, and collective.

Thus far, I really haven't found a way of handling it except to avoid people and or situations, which isn't the best way to handle it. I'm currently working a therapist on things like this but the whole therapist thing is new for me. My girlfriend has tried to help by pointing out that I'm over reacting or am on the verge of blowing up but that just gets me madder.

I too would be interested in seeing how others handle these outbursts of anger.
