I hope you feel you can share openly with your therapist/pdoc.
Often, events need to be viewed in context to understand exactly what's happening.

This might be an aspect of your bipolar condition and/or an aspect of your personality traits, etc.

It sounds like this is in reaction to conflict with your wife, which isn't necessarily a trait of bipolar. My friend with BPD describes very similar reactions to interpersonal conflicts -- rage, intense shutdowns, euphoria, etc.

It takes close and prolonged observation, putting events into proper context to tell the difference, to be most accurate about what's going on with you.

I hope you can work closely with a sound therapist/pdoc and can sort out any questions. moving forward on your path to healing.
