Thanks for the post here, I understand what you mean by linger. I enjoy reading posts because I think that there is so much I can learn from others and how they manage their situations and I ask myself what can I change in my own ways looking at strategies that have been useful for others so as to avoid me making the same mistakes again. I have Bipolar too

I am sorry to hear that your week has been a whirlwind of emotions. I've felt this way too which is why I wanted to respond to your thread.

I'm sorry there was some repercussions with your emotions with your partner, but you know what? Kuddos to you, it's been a year. It's not nice at all when there is this repercussion with our partners, but I just wanted to let you know that you are not alone. And I believe that if you've gone this strong for this long in your relationship, strategies can be put in place perhaps that could be used if you feel this way emotionally as you have this week. It's going to happen from time to time but I just don't want you to beat yourself up for it

I think sometimes pain / insecurity over situations can manifest themselves as anger.

Have you ever heard of the Anger Iceberg?

The Anger Iceberg:

10% of the Iceberg that you see floating above the sea level is anger / rage / loss of emotions.

What you don't see is the 90% below water.

90% below water = fear / insecurity / pain.

I think that you have a little bit of the Anger Iceberg happening and I know that this can be fixed.

Hang in there and please let us know how you go.
