So me and my wife had a argument the other day. I guess it got more out of hand then I thought. She called my parents they came and got the kids so on and so forth.. Again I never once realized it was this bad . Just assumed a little argument. Next day I'm fine and happy like nothing ever happened. Feeling good again. My wife informs me when I get home from work that it's not normal for people to just instantly be happy again and that it's going to take some time to get over it. Ugh! Irritating for me..

Just curious if this is a bipolar thing or a me thing cause it kind of sucks

My husband was like that, we would argue and then he'd be fine but I'd still be mad. He'd try to talk to me normally but I'd just harrumph and tell him to leave me alone. Then the argument would start again because at that point I was holding onto things according to him lol. Eventually he would apologize and id stop being mad. But that's just the way I am, he was was able to get over it instantly. I think that's just the way people are, nothing to do with bipolar.

I agree with Wildflowerchild. I think people have different arguing styles etc. i don't bounce back well. I need to hear sorry over and over and not in the exasperated "i said i'm sorry what else do you want from me way" but just in a genuine apologize a bunch of times way.

Its just how i am.

I do that so often, I have no clue of how aggressively I have behaved or of the hurtful things I have said as I´m off somewhere emotionally and empathy packs up and goes on a nice beach holiday along with a load of other healthy, happy emotions. Next day, I wake up fine and am surprised when family don´t react so nicely to me. I´ve often wondered myself why I do this....

My wife told me my behavior wasn't normal but that's what got me to get some help so in a way, I appreciated her honesty.

Yeah, I think it's a bipolar thing, maybe not ONLY a bipolar thing, buy definitely something likely to happen when you are bipolar. I feel like dissociative behavior is normal for me, and that kind of snapping out of it can be an expression of dissociation.

Lack of empathy is not a symptom of bipolar disorder.

My mood can fluctuate pretty damn rapidly and it's not predictable either.

People just irritate me. Full stop.

If you felt happy? Enjoy!

I'm not bipolar and I often forget I am[/supposed to be] angry with someone someone so I treat them normally.

I agree might be a bipolar thing. I was the same way. I went to my doc and told he said I was bipolar so I looked s for psychiatric professional and he confirmed it.
