Bipolar is quite complex. It covers a whole range of experiences and behaviours. Not everyone has all of them. Anger can be part of bipolar, but not everyone with anger problems has bipolar. Most of what we experience in bipolar also occurs in normal life, but in bipolar it is more extreme, so I suppose you could say bipolar amplifies things.

Looking at other people's lives from the outside will never reveal the truth about what is going on for them. I've been around long enough to know that everyone has issues/ problems/ difficulties sooner or later. No one has a perfect mind/ body/ life.

Having a mental illness is a horrible thing to be landed with. But there are lots of ways to deal with it, treatment or other help, advice, therapy. Lots of people find ways to feel better and deal with the problems it brings and live like anyone else. With bipolar you gradually learn coping strategies to help you get through the extremes.

At least you have a diagnosis. It is a learning process. Don't be too hard on yourself.
