Comments on: All About Bipolar: Anger – The Most Common Emotion http://allaboutbipolar.com/2009/06/30/all-about-bipolar-anger-the-most-common-emotion/ Living With Bipolar Disorder Thu, 09 Feb 2012 09:16:53 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: admin http://allaboutbipolar.com/2009/06/30/all-about-bipolar-anger-the-most-common-emotion/#comment-8854 admin Sat, 04 Feb 2012 16:58:16 +0000 http://allaboutbipolar.com/?p=62#comment-8854 Antidepressants can bring on a manic episode, and it certainly sounds like it may be bipolar disorder. Doctors are often very quick to diagnose and treat depression, but a diagnosis of bipolar disorder can take years. If the antidepressants aren't helping and seems to make matters worse, he should be taken off of them regardless of what he is diagnosed with. Anger is a big issue, and if he has hurt you physically you should leave for your own safety. Anger is anger....and it doesn't really matter if it's related to bipolar disorder or not. If a person shows signs of aggression with anger, it should always be taken seriously. If he is aggressive, you should leave. If you need to talk, feel free to email me at support@allaboutbipolar.com. Antidepressants can bring on a manic episode, and it certainly sounds like it may be bipolar disorder.

I have a partner that is in the middle of a diagnoses. The initial diagnoses was just depression and was put onto an antidepressant. But the mood swings got worse so I encouraged him to go back to the doctor, and then he thought bipola, so put him on mood medication as well. We have been referred to a psychiatrist and now they say it could be personality disorder. But the mood swings were never violent before but they are getting worse and more frequent! From what I have been reading, the antidepressant is most likely the cause if he is bipola, but essentially they are keeping him on both meds to play it safe as far as I can see. My friends and family are saying leave him because he did get violent. But just like you said in your blog when he is angry he is totally irrational you cant talk to him, everything I do is wrong and when I try to explain it makes him rage even more. I feel that I should stand by him, not abandon him like my friends say, but I'm wondering if there is the potential for a lot worse things to happen. Should I fear for my safety? Could he snap and do something irreversable? I want him off the antidepressant but the doctors haven't advised what he has. I believe it's bipola purely from how he has reacted to medication. He is desperate for answers and so am I. What do you suggest. Please help. Please help I’m very confused!!!!!! I have a partner that is in the middle of a diagnoses.

However, many of us have experienced rage at some point. I will not apologize for being vocal and honest about some of the issues I have dealt with over the years. Most readers have experienced this at some point and it is nothing to be ashamed of. Learning to work through anger is an important issue, and these are the types of thoughts that most people keep to themselves and never speak of because they are ashamed of these thoughts. My point was to show that it's okay to feel anger, and, if it's any comfort to you, I never hurt the guy and simply posting it helped me release my anger as soon as I hit "Publish". It's okay to be angry, but we must find a way to control it and that's exactly what I did. These posts were my therapy. It's the same for me as it is for many to speak to a therapist. The difference? The things you tell your therapist that you'd never tell another living soul and never want anyone else to know - I post them for the world to see so others know that it's okay, and they're not alone in what they're dealing with. I worked through these things, and I no longer experience this type of blind rage. Oh, and my family member was never abused by this man again. I hope you never have to deal with the anger caused by the physical abuse of a loved one. Again, I am unapologetic for this post as it has been helpful to many to see that it's okay to be angry, but you must learn to control how you react to anger. Whatever issue you were seeking support for, feel free to email me, Amy, personally at support@allaboutbipolar.com. I am always happy to help. ***Please note this post was made in 2009***
