So Sorry for what you're going through! Please Do not give up! Hugs. Although i don't have bipolar i also have a tendency to overreact sometimes, probably because i tend to bottle up what i really feel and then get angry at some insignificant things overall. i agree with the other wise and wonderful posters that pausing and reflecting may be a good idea. i think it can be hard but it may be worth trying. Perhaps seeing a therapist may also help with handling anger although perhaps you're already doing that. i don't really know. Love. Stay Safe. Sending many Safe, warm hugs to ALL of you, @Werewoman, your Families, your Friends and ALL of your Loved Ones! Keep fighting and keep rocking NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS, OK?!
