Well today was another day and it is close to becomming winter and I am working through some of the tough questions I have to ask myself when the living is not a steady drum beat.My Mom who just recently passed away sometimes could help me with things but she was old and tired and could not answer my questions about the upsets and roller coaster rides I have experienced with my boyfriend .Can anyone tell me why Bipolar has to be so violent or threating I see the turn of events I have experienced and I call myself the shut up person better to say nothing then to wear something .No medication yet for this storm trooper but I think sometimes it might be wise ,he will get mad if I even suggest it now .Have I left the puppy out in the rain to long or are my flowers going to rebloom inthe spring I need a little help here

I have bipolar ii so my anger issues are not the same as one with bipolar i, but they have enough in common I can address your issues. I would only blow up when under stress. Traffic, a fight with a wife, stress at work all served as triggers. I tried anger management classes, counseling, and other things. The only thing I found that worked was medication. I do not know if this is true for everyone. I know it is for me. Anyway, I hope your life gets a little smoothier, and may your bipolar get the help you need.
