"Rage problems / anger problems and dont lash out." In my case these are symptoms of agitated dysphoria, which I experience most of the time (I sound lovely don't I). But not everyone experiences this. You have insomnia occasionally, which can be a symptom of BP, however, I do not experience this.

My point is that if you do in fact experience mania/hypomania as a symptom of BP, everyone's experience with it is very personalized.

I have the opposite problem from you, I kept getting dx'd with depression, which I still do not agree with. I feel more like I will be hypomanic for months, the when I finally come down, because it is inevitable, I will be in what is described as a agitated dysphoria, with all the irritability and rage for several months (I honestly feel like it is my "normal" state). I suppose at some points I will experience some ephemeral depression, however, I feel that is is "normal" to be down now and then.
