Today is so bad, I feel like i'm about to explode on the first person that looks at me weird! I'm feeling very violent, angry, agitated to no return, and my back hurts like a *****. I've also been having trouble keeping warm the last couple of days, It was 70 degrees in here last night and I wore sweats, a shirt and a hoodie over that with two blankets over me
 Everything is getting on my nerves, my mind is jumping and I can't concentrate. My body feels shaky also. I've basically been trying to keep to myself so I don't hurt anybody's feelings. I couldn't forgive myself if I yelled at my kids or said something hurtful to them. There are so much bad thought swirling around in my head, I hate feeling like this. Does anybody else get like this? Or does anyone have any info or ideas as to how I can control this before I do something I regret?

Perhaps today is a day to stay home, take care of yourself and distract, distract, distract. Maybe you could suggest that your kids do something outside of the house to have fun, since you're having a "bad day."

I'll give it a try, anything is better than this! I actually just read that what i'm experiencing is a mixed state of hypomania I think? I've been bipolar since I was about 15 but I wasn't diagnosed till about 2 1/2 years ago. I'm still learning a lot about this, trying to keep track of my moods and learning to cope. The worst part of all this is how I hurt the ones I love the most. By that I mean just ignoring them or closing everybody out, and that's when I feel like this. I'm on very low doses of my meds, I might be getting a little bit of a tolerance to them, might have to see about upping them a little, thanks for the replies

Do you have any tranquilizers or other calming meds? If so, take one, even if you are off schedule with it. Then phone your pdoc and tell him/her what is going on. Have you changed meds recently? Or could this be a manic episode? I know I can get bit*hy and irritated and slam things around when manic. Keeping to yourself is good so that you don't do harm to anyone, but don't isolate to the extent that it makes you feel worse. You can get stuck in your head with your thought going obsessively around about how awful you feel, and that just makes you more agitated.
Do you have a TV or some computer games you can play to occupy yourself while you get thru this? Can someone sit with you (spouse?) to get your mind off things, who wouldn't take your mood personally? A warm bath might also help, with some relaxing music, if you have it.

The only thing I have close to tranquilizers is the seroquel. I don't have a psychiatrist or therapist, I called a little bit ago for a referral to get one. I try to talk to my husband about this to help him better understand but with him everything is black or white, there is no grey area. He takes every one of my moods personal, even though I explain to him it's nothing he has done. He stays mad at me forever too
 I'm to the point that I don't really want to talk to him about it cause he believes it's all in my head, I think, or maybe i'm just embarrassed because he seems perfect to me. I envy him really, he wakes up motivated everyday, he has a great job, tons of friends and he's happy.... I'm the opposite. I'm glad I have him in my life, I just try to not bother him with this as much as possible.... does that make sense? Anyway I have a PS3 so I'm going to play some skyrim till it makes me mad lol. Everybody else here is going somewhere else so I should be mellowed out. My mood swings are so fast it makes me dizzy sometimes. It may last an hour or could last a couple of days.

Have you had your thyroid checked lately? An out of whack thyroid can really mess with your mood and body temp./metabolism. Talk to your GP.

Thanks for all the reply's, you guys/girls help out a lot, especially when nobody in my life can figure me out
Anyway, i'm feeling better now, not so aggressive. I still feel a little agitated but nothing like before. Chihuahua, it must be in the air today And cybermember, I just read that lithium can cause hypothyroidism, but I sometimes get like this and some days i'm too hot and I wake up soaked! I'm just messed up all around! Hopefully my doctor can get my referral for a therapist or psychologist soon, maybe they can help with my meds better and try to crack into the puzzle that is me....Anyway, thanks, you made me feel better, and not so alone

I haven't discussed with her these feelings of hostility that come over me sometimes ... I once expressed to my therapist that it was such an intense hostility that I wanted to hurt myself or somebody else ... I've learned to be aware of what I'm feeling and talk myself down by reminding myself that others are in a big struggle too and that they don't need me taking my stuff out on them anymore than I need anybody else taking their stuff out on me ... Mine generally comes on 7 - 14 days before I'm supposed to start ... Now that I'm going through the change though - (skipping months here, yonder and there) - it's more difficult to recognize it ... As soon as I do though I start treating myself (and others) extra patient, gentle and kind ... When I do slip up I also feel terrible because the last thing I'd want to do is intentionally hurt someone ... Try not to be too hard on yourself ... We're all human, and at least those of us who are aware and try to do the right thing are a little further ahead of the game than people who don't even care or try ...  (if okay)

Yeaaaahup I can relate to this since I've been off my medication for two weeks. I felt like choking someone today! So tense it was as if someone were to touch me I would have shattered.
Looking at funny pics, logging on here and chit chat helped to calm me a little.

That reminds me, there is a thread up in the social section, you may have to look a few days back, it's full of animal cartoons. It should give you a good laugh, I know it did me!

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
