What do I do with bipolar
So my modes switch so suddenly I hate it. I can get mad at the blink of an eye. I got mad yesterday and snapped at my mom and made her sad but I couldn't stop it, it just didn't have time to filter first. I get mad so easily with my husband for no reason to half the time I have no clue why. How do I tackle this.

I'm sorry I'm not much aware about how to cope with such sudden mood switches but i do understand how difficult it must be for you to experience them, also for those around you sometimes. ❤️
Does your partner or your family understand your struggles being bipolar? How do you feel about explaining to them what you go through and maybe they can try to support more, specially when you're feeling angry and snappy?
I don't switch that quick myself, but have had anger issues with results I'm not proud of and still very much regret to this day.
What helped me was deep research into triggers. Anger is a reaction, so what are you reacting to? What border is being crossed? What are you truly feeling (what is behind the anger)? What gives that feeling such intensity? What can you do to become less sensitive to this type of trigger?
It's not easy, I'm sorry... But I hope it helps before anything happens that crosses a border.
I agree with you. I have been struggling with my anger ,more like rage, at work. When I got triggered a boiling rage would fill me and I honestly felt like I could tear down my surroundings with my bare hands and hurt people. It takes a lot of strength to act those feelings out. But as angry as I get remind myself to not act. Also, if noticed when I don’t control my anger my depression lingers and worsens. Only way to battle the raging episodes is to work on your thinking and become aware of triggers and have a thought process in places to overrule the rage
