Yesterday i was all happy through out the day on a scale of 1 to 10 being the best i was at a 14. Then at 11pm i had to go pick up my cousin. I was ok on the way there and once my cousin sat down into the car and starte to complain about her headache. Well first of all she asked if i could take one of her friends home. No early warning just showed up with the friend at my car putting me into a situation that i could not say no in. Well then she started to complain about her headache and saying how its so bad cause shes pregnant and cant take anything. Then she started complainng about how state is at her nursing home. I made the mistake of say8ing state is comming to the hotel soon too. She said snotty well state at a nursing home is much worse than at a hotel. I KNOW i worked at a nursing home. she told me i didnt haft to get so bi*chy. Well i shut up and she started saying that i was pist off. THAT PIST ME OFF RIGHT THERE. I told her very stern NO im just tired. Well she started to bicker and say how she does not want to be down here. Well i started to get very angry. Then we were coming up to a cop that had allready pulled over a guy and was talking to the guy. Before i had a chance to get into the other lane she tells me to get into the other lane. I said yes yes i know. She told me dont be a bi*ch about it. I told her well its not like the cop can pull me over. She said yes they can. they doo it all the time. I told her that a cop wont stop writting out a ticket leave the other guy and go ito his car and drive after me. She says they do it in the cities. I got even more pist. I said THIS IS NOT THE CITIES. THIS IS A TOWN. THEY ARE DIFFERENT. she was bi*chy all the way home.

I dont get it i was so hyper happy this morning and whole day and then i went to very pist off. To very down. scale of 1 to 10 iam at a -3 right now. And this all happened yesterday. I also cut my self too yesterday. I cut the word Bi*ch into my thy and did a deep cut into my leg. I started on a new med and it hasnt helped yet. Can mood swings happen in a day? or is it just my hormones or something?

Hi Blackdragon,
It is very common for any one to experience a range of moods from daily situations, with us bipolars (if you have been diagnosed) it can be more extreme. I think your cousin would have put anyone in a bad mood.
The cutting I personally do not know anything about. But you are not a bit** and just because someone labels you as one doesn't mean you need to label yourself as one and especially physically.

Hope you feel better.

Hi Blackdragon. I'm sorry to hear about this agrivating situation. I think we've all been there with people in our lives.
First of all, I would suggest that you tell your cousin that it made you uncomfortable that she just assumed you'd bring her friend home too, and that she should've asked you first.
I would also like to suggest that the both of you have some boundary issues. You need to set some boundries with her as to what is and is not acceptable in how she speaks to you, treats you and that calling you a bi**** is absolutely unacceptable and that you deserve more respect that. By the same token, you don't want to do that to here either.
When someone, like your cousin, is provoking you like that...don't be afraid to speak up. Remind her that you're driving and need to concentrate without being argued with.
As for bp, this sounds to me like it's more circumstantial feelings of agitation, irritation and being hurt by someone calling you such a derogatory name. I would be pretty upset too regardless of bp.
Communication is the key in any relationship and it sounds to me like the two of you need to learn to communicate with one another on a more civil level.
Just one other thing, I believe you said your cousin is pregnant....she is highly hormonal and all kinds of things are taking place for her physically, mentally, emotionally and psychologically. Try to keep that in mind too.
Hope this helps.
