Does this ever happen in a manic episode [bipolar]?!
Question: Does this ever happen in a manic episode [bipolar]!?
Like my manic phase is usually just irritable!. Then for about an hour a day in a manic phase I'll bounce off the walls!. Then back to the irritable!. Today, I didn't have my bounce of the walls time!. Instead I went normal for an hour [weird] then I just went into a complete extremely irritable crash type thing!. I'm not depressed it just seems like the irritability increased significantly!. Like if my mom asks "Who was that lady!?" I'll come back with a smart alec sounding thing and say "GOD I DON'T FREAKING KNOW! YOU EXPECT ME TO KNOW EVERYTHING!?! IT'S NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS ANYWAY!! UGHHHH!!!!" Then I'll like punch something!. Idk if this is normal but can you tell me if it is!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

If you have not been properly diagnosed PLEASE go in through emergency room if you can't get an appointment with psychiatrist very soon or call local mental health facility for emergency intake!.
My sister-in-law struggled with bi-polar disorder because she did not want to be on meds but once she got proper treatment life changed drastically TO THE BETTER!. Within two to four weeks of being on her meds, it was a different world for the entire family!. She took Paxil!. She did outpatient counseling and group for support and help in coping with the disorder!.
It's impossible to deal with without medication and counseling!. The sooner you get in the better!.
It's IS normal behavior for someone who is bi-polar but not being treated for the chemical imbalance!. But there is help available and I pray that you get it as soon as possible!.

I am a provisionally licensed mental health practitioner and alcohol and drug addiction counselor!. That sounds like bipolar II, hypomania!. Treatment for that is different than bipolar I!. Don't know if you are on meds and have a pdoc or not but you should know that!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Yes!. My brother is diagnosed with Bipolar II and he acts just like that when he's not on meds!. Irritable, nasty and mean!. He is now doing much better since he started taking Lithium!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Yes, a common feature of mania is a lability of mood!. People in a manic episode can rapidly shift from irritable to elated to depressed to irritable, etc!. So, yeah, drastic alterations in mood or emotions are common in mania!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
