Irritability is definitely my worst symptom. I would get so mad at my boys and yell and scream and spank them, and get even more mad if my husband tried to intervene or take over so I could leave the situation. In my mind, he was telling me that I can't handle my own kids, or that I can't do it as well as he can. I'm just worried about what I'm doing to my kids. My oldest is almost 9, and he was about 2 when I got diagnosed, so he's seen some stuff. I wish I could just be more creative with my time when I get manic...why do I have to get so mad???
