I hate when people blame their various dx for their unacceptable behavior. I get very angry sometimes because of irritability in mixed/manic states and I take it out on my family but I always feel like an ***hole afterwards. It is one I the things that drove me to seek help. I try to control it by taking deep breaths and things like that because just because I have bipolar does not mean I get to treat other people like s***. I get that having an MI causes certain behaviors and poor coping skills but eventually you have to take responsibility for your actions and seek help if you cannot control it. That is so aggravating for me! I hope your family member seems help eventually. Good luck!
