I just had one of the worst mood swings I have ever had. I just snapped on my sister's boyfriend. I don't like him to start with. He made a comment about bipolar and I snapped and tried to hit him. I guess I should be greatfull to him and my sister as they have been letting me stay with them because my mom and I got in a huge fight and I left. My sister's boyfriend though loves to point out the fact that I have a dead end job but I work said dead end job to put myself through college. My boyfriend is trying to help me calm down but I don't think he understands me. He is all scared now that I would snap on him like that. I told him that this is the point where he has to decide if he can put up with it or not. I feel like I am losing control today. I got on here because I know that I could get some good advice here. I feel like **** and want to go down and apologize to him for what I did but I don't think he will have it right now. I am afraid I will lose my sister if me and him can't find a way to get along for her sake.Please help me

Was it a mood swing or did you over react? Apologize for your reaction. Talk honestly with him. Most people respond well to sincerity and being contrite. Thats all you can do now. Good luck!

I don't feel I over reacted. I feel it was a mood swing I was fine one minute and the next I just snapped. I never liked him to start with but the comment about bipolar just pushed me over the edge. I do feel bad now but at the same time he needs to learn respect for others. He is 19 years old and has no respect for anyone who is different. He judges anyone no matter what. Now my stupid little sister is taking his side. He has her brain washed. I am done. I see what a true sister she is. I am done with her. She can go rot in hell right along with him. I hate how he controls her so ****ing much. She is picking him over me. Oh well when he leaves her sorry *** she will come running to me and I won't be there anymore. She has burned this bridge for the last time. I am done. She has lost her sister for good.

I hate to put the interrogation spotlight on you when you've had a bad night already, but noneedtoknow zeroed in on a vital issue here: You say you "snapped" at your sister's boyfriend, who made some remarks to/about you that could be considered button-pushing.
Why do you characterize your response as a mood swing? Even

one of the worst mood swings I have ever had

I would call it completely involving reaction--I don't see any mood swings. Are you being treated for your disorder? Do you have mood swings regularly?
This doesn't sound like any situation that a calm discussion can't rectify. Possibly all they know about a bipolar condition is what they've stumbled across in the tabloids. Here's your chance for a little one-on-one honesty. Apologize for being oversensitive, & assure them that you don't hang about with the Hollywood bipolars ... You can't hook them up with anyone. Try to keep a sense of humor if you can.
If you're not seeing a therapist and pdoc, it might be a good idea to try to arrange something.

I am seeing someone for my bipolar.It just really pissed me off when he said what he said. He was being a complete and total *** and it pissed me off. I snapped so bad. I guess you could say it was 6 months of pent up angry towards him that came out.
