I don't think anger and rage is uncommon. I have experienced also. That said, I take responsibility for it and try not to visit it on anyone else.
I do believe this is part of the irritability of mania and mixed episodes and not the result of anything other people do so I try my best to not make decisions when I feel this way. I also try not to argue when I feel this way because what starts at being annoyed turns into a fight.
I do my best to do 'alone' things during this time. It's not the best time for group activities.

Have you discussed this problem with your t? Are you on any meds? I don't know what to tell you as to how to deal with it except to say don't stuff your anger, don't get physical with people/animals&don't let anyone tell you you have no right to be angry. You feel what you feel.   |
