Dear all, and a comment esp for wolfeyes and one for christopher1990. Thanks to all of you who are participating in this thread. The only good hing about this all is that now I don't feel alone in this condition. I wonder if our mutual susceptibility to hatred feelings is "just part of being human," or "just part of bipolar," or something else. I'm pretty sure that this recent bout of hatred feelings has come on when I changed meds. Wolfeyes, you wrote, "it is just going to upset me thinking about it" YES!!! You got it. Once I get started thinking about it, it takes over my whole day. Christopher1990 you wrote, "I cant really stand watching the news. I don't understand whats going on." Me, neither! People ask me, "Are you going to watch the presidential debates?" I say he*l no! I'd throw up.
