anyone ever get

[ryo88]

does anyone ever get so mad that they just want to beat up anyone they see?

or does anyone ever want to do/do stupid things when they are manic?

i wanted to jump in front of a car once even though i wasnt depressed

 

[DoubtingThomas29]

Not me personally, but I have heard depression is rage turn inward.

yep, rage/anger is a part of my hypomania, I took a broom to my dh once . . . and my son did jump in front of a car once in a hypomania episode.

I do stupid things when I am hypomanic. Or want to do stupid things. The problem with that is that I think I am invinceable, that I can do anything and I will survive. Even being run over by a semi - oh, of course I won't die. Yeah right! I have had suicidal impulses during hypomania, even though I wasn't particularly depressed. However, mixed episodes are the worst for me...

Irritability and anger are up there on my list of signs of hypomania. I get REALLY crabby. Or else REALLY giddy. Very frustrating!

 

[Alive again]

my biggest sign of hypomania is wanting to smack my dh for how IRRITATINGLY LOUD he chews-duh-he is chewing in more loudly or differently than normal!!!

 

[Soulwings]

Haha, Alive, that's funny I get upset with J because of all the puns he pulls... already do... so when I am hypomanically irritable, that's one of the things that really irritates me! Heh. Poor J... has to put up with me!

YES!

Hypomania, as in Alive's case, makes me EXTREMELY irritable. In those cases, I get annoyed standing behing people who move slowly, talk too loudly, smile to much and other petty, subjective things.

I am also more easily annoyed by loved ones. I need to get away before the irritability seeps through the cracks.

I have wanted to kick cars or people before. Jump off heights because I was convinced I'd land on my feet. I haven't felt those impulses for a while as I ahve been incredibly stable for some time. But I do remember what it is and how it can overtake us.

I have moments of pure rage and have taken meds to help curb my aggression. Happens when I am hypomanic, but also have had it when I am depressed.

I have really learned to control it, but I have in the past verbally assaulted people. Not proud of that, but that hasn't happened for quite a while.

Although there was the idoit who parked really close to my car today that torqued me off. But I was nice and didn't leave the nasty note that I wanted to.

 

[VictoryNGrace]

Yes, I tend to gets sooo angry and not realize that its the rage that I feel and spout off to DH or to anyone who is near me due to the major anger I have.. Course Ive been like that my whole life and its worse when the time of the month shows up!

As like everyone has said, my Hypomania is the worst. I notice that I have these things called triggers, and the significant other really likes to push these when I'm Hypo. I feel like screaming, and beating the life out of some people sometimes. I've done stupid things,and some of these hypomania episodes landed badly, because after I had no sleep for several days, and the yelling, I went down...wayyy down..and thats what I feel like now..down..

To elaborate more, I had a 2 hour episode of just screaming, punching and banging my head on the wall. I'm surprised no one called the cops. I find that stressors add to this. When it got to the point where I was not feeling good with doing that, I cut. I must admit, it was a good feeling to allow the pain out when I did, but the aftermath was not so friendly. People just ask questions, and no one takes me seriously. They think it is just for attention, and I'm scared because my mom was 19 when people first realized that she was Bipolar. Sometimes I just feel numb..

 

[forgiveable]

I have never even heard of Hypomania have you reduced the triggers?
