anyone have sudden rages where you feel out of touch with reality?

Nope. Two of my friends are two hours away. I don't think they like me that much.

what about the older child, is he capable? once in a blue moon, my oldest will get my youngest off to school if i'm having a really bad one.

Yeah but school starts earlier for him than the youngest.

that sucks... i really hope you wake up ok... i'm not talented in the waking up area, or at the falling asleep at the right time area.

I'm having a snack. At least that will help. Didn't eat much today.

I talked with my friend. Yay. He always calms me.

Moose, i get terrible, angry rages with little or no provokation on certain highs. Usually my highs are all bounce and bubble but if something strikes a nerve in me at the wrong moment when Im manic, there is truly a possiblity of me causing someone harm.

YeP. .

Seeing T in a hour for an hour.

She's late

She talked about a lot but said I'm manic.

I have had this problem only a few times mostly if I was drinking even if it was just one drink when I was in a manic episode I would snap most times and completely flip out. I decided to no longer drink while on a high or a low. Basically mine was helped along with chemicals.

I'm not sure if it's related to bipolar but I can relate. Fortunately and by sheer coincidence, my children have never witnessed my rage but my husband has. So have my parents and friends. The fight or flight kicks in, adrenaline pumping, and I am "seeing red". I've actually had one of my fights video recorded (without my knowing) and I watched the vid at a later time and I don't recall any of it. I was screaming the most obscene and vulgar things, literally taking the other woman's head and bashing it into the curb. It was like I was possessed and it scared me to see it. It was like I was watching someone else and I didn't know I had that much physical strength. I am also liable to start swinging on someones face, throwing things, breaking things. NOT stuff I'm proud of but I think I'm better with that stuff now than I was before.

I rage nearly everyday... Meds for this aren't recommended for me right now but soon I'll probably start something for it. I loose a lot of people from my life doing this. However I also learn who my true friends are cause when I apologize they still love me...

I do have issue with blind rage- but they are almost (if not) always when I am manic. Thay are also less and less as I get older. I also have a toolbox from my last OP... I also have a small note with a couple of non-obvious (to the average eye) reminders and the crisis center number on the side of the fridge. That way my honey has access to the reminders/number, too.
