I've been told, and read here and there, that the "traditional" form of bipolar -- the extreme euphoria, etc -- has become much less common than extreme irritability.

I have 2 weeks to my pdoc appointment and I'm not sure anyone around me is going to live that long. I have been in a snit for several weeks now and I really don't know why. Nothing particularly horrible has happened to me. Nobody's really done anything awful enough to me to incense me. I just seem to be permanently annoyed, and I can go from "ticked off" to "raging and irate" in 0.2 seconds for no good reason.

Am I weird, or does this happen to anybody else? And if yes, how do you cope? It doesn't feel good to hate everyone and everything and never be in at least a tolerable mood, but I seem to be incapable of fixing it. I don't know if that means the Seroquel needs upping or I just need a major attitude adjustment.
