I have just recently been diagnosed with bipolar 2 disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, and OCD. My question is is it normal for someone with bipolar disorder to be snapping and yelling at people when I get stressed about something? Ever since I was a teenager I have always taken stuff out on the people that I love where I will get very nasty and snap and yell at the people that I love. Is this normal for someone with bipolar disorder? I hate that I do this and I am trying to change because I seem to be pushing my boyfriend away because I have been doing this. I just started mood stabilizers and my anxiety medication a week and half ago and I see some changes but I am still doing this sometimes and I can't seem to control it. I just really want to stop so I stop pushing people away I've done it for so many years and I am trying to break it but it is very hard to! I am seeing a therapist weekly now and of course a psychiatrist as well for the meds. Does anybody have any advice to stop this or to help me learn to stop snapping and yelling at people because I really want to stop.
