Are you ultra rapid cycling? I cycle up and down all day when I don't have meds that work. I have tried CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) and it works well AFTER an event, sometimes, but it's never helped stop me from reacting to things like rudeness. By that mean rudeness by a person towards me, or, what happens a lot in this day and age, rudeness by machines such as computer company tech support who don't know what they are doing, and keep saying "Not to worry. I will help you," while they work on my computer for more than an hour, doing the same routine over and over. At least I don't believe them anymore, but that doesn't get my tech problem solved. And of course I know the real source of this rudeness -- it's the top managers of these companies who are glad to treat their customers like chattel, who are there to make money for them and no other reason.
