I used to have horrible overreactions during mood episodes back before I was medicated. I didn't recognize them as mood episodes then, of course, but in retrospect I can remember long periods of time when I didn't overreact or come unhinged because of some minor thing. My last screaming fit happened in front of a crowded restaurant over three years ago, before my BP diagnosis and medication intervened.
