Being irritable and aggressive is common on both ends of the bipolar spectrum. I always thought I was a pretty mellow guy, but after to talking to some old friends lately I think I was probably a jerk. Very distressing. I had to take anger management classes, which were very helpful. It's something you learn to manage over time, just like the rest of this stupid disease. When you blow it, you just have to move on, que sera, sera.

We love you, Halliebeth. Maybe you made a mistake, but you've been such a good friend to so many people here over the years, including me. Thank you!
