I'm trying to pin down the source of my constant irritability, so my question is: Are any of you constantly irritable? When I say "constantly", I mean you're irritable regardless of what mood state you're in.


I'm trying to figure out if this is a bipolar thing or not. My pdoc insists that bipolar disorder can make you irritable all the time, but I don't know about that... (He talks out of his @ss sometimes.)


Personally, I think my baseline mood is "irritable". When I'm depressed or (hypo)manic, the irritability worsens, but it's always there regardless of what mood state I'm in.


I want to figure out the cause of this irritability so that I can take the appropriate steps to make it go away.
