It might be a personality thing and it is heightened by my bipolar 1 (extreme mania). Anytime I do something to someone, toward or attempt to I feel justified because they provoke me. Period. I do ask explain to family what my triggers are. However they tend to not retain info pertaining to me very well.

I have attempted to have a conscience by apologizing but I stopped trying. My oldest daughter would get mad bc she could tell I did not mean it. She was correct. She hit a trigger after being told it was one...so she got the outcome. I went for a disability hearing and the judge I had asked me "do u not have any remorse"? I truthfully answered the question. No. The killer part is I didn't use to be this why!!! I have been concerned abt it and mentioned it to my T, and pdoc. My bad did mean to type a book. LOL

Not having a conscience is not a characteristic of BP. It is a personality trait. I can imagine that must be frustrating for many reasons though.
