ps- I just wanted to comment that I also have PTSD dx... so perhaps that is what is being triggered - obviously lots of 'perceived' stress can push me over the edge, and maybe cause the rage/moods... not sure how the BP plays into that...
Part of me is curious if I am really really BP. Like- it is some kind of made up BS... however, since the medication is proving so effective, It likely makes more sense for me to accept that it is... and just work on solutions, management et...
I have found this book to be extremely helpful in promoting a healthy lifestyle and trigger management. Perhaps i have much to learn, and am naive to think avoiding my triggers will be helpful.. All I can do is try and experiment. Who knows.
