My anger is what drove me to get help in the first place. I know it is a part of bipolar for me because when I am well I do not get angry. I have no trouble controlling it when I am well. When I am in an episode, I find it almost impossible to control.

I have to say I would be annoyed with you too if you weren't doing anything to help yourself. If you didn't stay on meds or at least try to go to therapy I would definitely be frustrated. So I can see where your wife is coming from. However I also know where you're coming from. My husband used to get so frustrated with me. That was when I was trying to find medicine that worked. But I was also ****ing with my meds and not taking them as prescribed and/or not taking them at all.

It's time for you to decide whether you're willing to do anything it takes to keep your family. If you keep going on without treatment you may lose everything you love. Are you in therapy? Sometimes therapy can help you accept the BP diagnosis and be more compliant with treatment.
