Another thing, the rages that people who are bi polar get into, like throwing stuff, and yelling and screaming, and then wondering why they did it-does this behavior count if it is provoked. For example, if my husband does something like get in my way while I'm trying to clean or something like that, and I fly off the handle at him and totally lash out, and maybe even throw stuff, does this count as manic behavior even though he provoked the situation? I'm not saying theres ANY excuse for that type of behavior, but sometimes I fly off the handle for no reason, and later wonder what the heck was wrong with me for doing it. I just wonder if this type of behavior is classified under the irritable symptom, or manic symptom of bi polar disorder. I just want to get all my ducks in a row before I go to my doc and tell her all this stuff. Thanks for all your advice!
