I think I am highly emotional, it runs in the family. I don't take it out on people, but am working on learning to emotionally regulate better. Suppressing my emotions used to be my go to, but that apparently backfires as you can imagine. Making sure I am taking good care of myself in terms of diet/sleep/etc. and keeping stress from getting too unhealthy helps me keep my emotions in check. I don't know that this is actually a bipolar thing in my case, though. I think it's more my temperament? I was worried for awhile I had a personality disorder, but just decided I have both positive and less positive traits and I am just going to work on improving anything that can be improved.
