Hello, I have been diagnosed with BP as well. I get into what I call a 'rage' as well... I don't actually get to the point of throwing or hitting things (but I have iin the past). I did just punch my boyfriend in the face a couple of times a few wks ago though. I thought that maybe my diagnosis may have been wrong b/c I don't really get the 'feel-good' mania, I get very aggitated, to the point that my (now ex) boyfriend's breathing p****s me off. I feel like I hate the world at times. And in those times, I don't even want to be around myself or in my head.

Anyhow, although difficult at times, I have always held a job, since 15yrs old. I've only tried meds once (last yr) and went right back off of them a couple months later.

I hope this helped you @ least a little bit....
