hands down the depression.

I mean I hate my mania because it exhibits as rage. No good feelings or extra energy whatsoever. Just rage but I'm rather be mad then suicidally depressed.

The unrelenting anger of mania and mixed episodes has caused more damage than anything else. That's an easy one for me. The anger would definitely be at the top of the list.

I have BP 1 and have been dealing with mania and mixed episode since my onset. I experienced a period of five months of depression one year. I'd take the evils of mania any day over depression.

I can't pick one thing. I want the Bipolar to be gone. The depression really sucks. While hypomania can actually be "good" when they first start by themselves, it gets detrimental and the mixed states are horrible. So yeah, I just want it all gone!

Luckily I haven't had any depression since I found the right combo of meds but the hypomania still gets me in trouble mostly in the form of overspending.
Thanks for this!

Lashing out at my loved ones saying hurtful things and apologizing over and over for it. I get so angry, I hate myself right now. I don't know why anyone sticks around for my ****.

definitely the depression. and the exhaustion that comes with it. maybe just exhaustion if I had to pick one. I can handle feeling ****** but feeling foggy and desperate for sleep all of the time is the worst feeling.

I am also curious as to whether this is an easy or difficult question for you? Is it like a no brainer or do you have to really think?
I would have to say my insomnia when I am in the hypomanic phase.

I can't really pick one. The rage is bad because I can get violent, but the daily anxiety really wears me down.
( Although the anxiety could be from PTSD... But so could the anger. )

The depression. I hate the feeling of being too tired to do the simplest of things, and I hate the overwhelming sense of loneliness it brings.

I can't make decisions. Maybe that should be my answer?

My manic episodes have been the most dangerous to my life, but coming down from them feels really just awful, so it's hard to say what I'd get rid of first. I also hate not knowing what is "real", what is from my meds, what is my bipolar "talking".

Irritability and insomnia. I take meds for anxiety(make me sleepy) and I also have sleeping pills for the manic phase. But despite all this I have issues with irritability, sleep - often sleep during the day and then at night I cannot....

The depression. I would rather be psychotically manic than suicidal and depressed.
