I do think it’s worse when I’m in a mixed episode, which I am. I thought about it before and I think it can be anxiety related as well. It definitely does increase when I’m in a mixed episode. My tolerance and patience towards everything goes down during that time. The TV being turned on is enough to set me off, literally. A couple of weeks ago I became so enraged with a client at work that I had to set the phone down and asked somebody else to come over and take the call. Literally everything bothers me and it’s so overwhelming.
