I agree with sorand0m
I don't know. I get so sick of trying to understand myself! I often try to ask friends if my reaction seems healthy or too much. In general yes I think I take it over. I've worked to try to keep it in check though it is def a work in progress.
But I have to say that my husband doing nothing at all about our anniversary would really set me off. I obviously don't know exactly what you said and did and I am a Bipolar chick too so maybe not the best to say what it and isn't normal ha! But I think A reaction was appropriate. Was yours over the top? Probably maybe.
I try really hard to not say anything "mean" but I do not always succeed.
I always thought I just had an um fiery nature but it seems like a lot of us with Bipolar do.
Will he be cool if you tell him all of this?
I told me husband I didn't need to do anything big for my birthday and he took that as an okay to not do ANYTHING for my birthday. And my whole family was puking anyway so I had to suck it up but I think I had a frustrated tantrum at some point. Totally justified.....
