I have never yelled at her or hurt her though when I'm like that. She just gets upset and hands me her bear to make me feel better. She's a great kid. Or she wants me to sit down on the couch by her and watch a movie.
I've scared my husband numerous times. Not by raging. But by overdosing.

I'm not an angry person. Sorry if I gave the wrong impression.
My therapist/pdoc think I should express more anger, not less.
I don't feel angry internally very often.
The idea that all people living with bipolar are angry people is not only erroneous in my opinion, but feeds into the stigma we all hope to see go away.
I think -- if people experience agitation due to brain/biochemistry/mood changes, it may not equate with the person being an "angry person" at all.
Many of us here may be too accommodating.
