Rages

Hi All,
I don''t know how many of you have an issue with raging. I feel all alone in this and I can't even explain it. Recently, I have gotten really mad at things. It seems like the more my husband tries to control me the more rebellious I become. He doesn't quite understand that. When he tries to guilt trip me, it just makes me more nad more mad. I have no idea why he even bothers to stay with me. I am aware that most of our problems are mine but when he does something wrong it's supposed to go unnoticed. During some of these rages, I am more frequently forgeting things that happened. I have been losing time so to speak. He will bring something up that happened during an episode and I have no recollection of it. I just agree with him what else can I do? It's almost like having small black out spells. I don't know if this is a natural defense against this problem. I just don't know. I do know I am ripping my marriage to shreds and this is happening right before my eyes and I can't stop it. I am supposed to see the doctor this Friday, however, I am leary about telling her about the episodes of blacking out because I don't want anything radical done. I want to see if I am all alone with this as well. Any past experiences or input would be helpful. Thanks, KMarie <font color="#000088"> </font>

I just had a weekend of rages. My poor 7 year old daughter just couldn't do anything right. Of course that is not true, I am just confirming my recent DX. I have lost time too in a blind rage, it is almost like it is not me, but some crazy lady. My relationship is also falling apart, but my partner is severely depressed in the midst of my bipolarism. I highly recommend that you tell your pdoc, you don't HAVE to take radical measures, your pdoc is supposed to be working WITH you to find a solution. Just be as honest as you can with her. Help is on the way, and remember, everything is temporary, even the good times. I will be thinking about you through your time of trouble. I have asked others here to please hold my hand when I am in trouble, so you can ask the same. I am here for and you can PM me anytime. Stay hopeful.

Hi there, welcome to PC,
I just took a quick look at your post (I need to be somewhere soon) but I just wanted to say that "rage issues" are NOT limited, nor should be only associated with Bipolar disorder.
While "anger,rage and/or violence" can occur when a person is having a manic episode, such feelings/actions can stem from many other disorders, physical and/or mental.
It is most important you rule out physical and also be professionally evaluated by a psychiatrist, to ensure proper DX(s) and treatment plan(s).
There are many options,alternatives,including talk therapy,etc. that can help get you on the road of stability.
Please keep the faith, what seems impossible can become "the possible" with time,effort and patience.
I'm wishing you lots of luck and innerpeace with this all.

you were writing about me. i can really have rages- for no reason at all. they pop up from nowhere. i can be "normal acting" and then so stupid thing like droppin a fork will semnd be on a rage. tell your doc so you can get on meds. they are still working on my dxs. good luck

I have a serious problem with uncontrollable rage...and most of the time I don't even know what it was about. I hate it and want it to go away.
