Hi twirls01,

I have been incredibly irritable--okay angry--maybe enraged is the right word-- for about the past week. I saw my therapist today and my lamictal is being increased. I am hoping that will help. Having been bipolar so long I feel like i have terrible trouble knowing if I am angry because I am in an episode or angry because I have a legitimate issue that needs to be dealt with. It's the same when I am feeling good. I wonder if it is normal happiness or I am starting hypomania.
Do you have a therapist to help you sort it all out?

It does feel awful when I feel like I am angry over nothing. It really does create a feeling that I must be certifiably insane. We do have to be less critical with ourselves I think about our feelings. Like they say, a feeling never killed anyone.
