▲ 7 r/bipolar
I (18M) used to be a very calm, laid back person. I had an extremely long fuse and it took a lot to get me to even raise my voice. But my bipolar emerged in February of last year when I had my first manic episode. Since then its just gotten worse. During episodes, im irritable as hell, and I become loud and violent. Its ruining my life, and its ruining my relationship. My paranoia is off the charts and it leads to me being overbearing. I had my medication switched in an emergency meeting with my psychiatrist, but I have to know how to handle the episodes when they come and I dont know how. How do I manage my rage during manic episodes before it ruins my life?
