My current diagnosis is BP II. For years I was treated for every kind of *depression* you can think of. None of the anti depressants ever worked and I am on mood stabilizers with Provigil now.
Even during my *manic* periods it is always more of a mixed episode due to the irritability. I know I'm being that way and I will apologize to anyone when I catch myself but after a while it gets old to everyone....that and some times, some days I can be a road rage jack**s.
No speeding tickets since I have been on mood stabilizers though :) It is a strange yet good feeling to be able to be mad at someone for what they did (or didn't do as with my kids!) and be able to CALMLY tell them what I'm upset about. I haven't been that way ever that I can remember.
I do know my kids, at times, wish for the old me back. I used to blow up but then I'd be over it and forget about it just as quickly...no real consequences for their actions. Now I don't holler at them but I don't let them get by with anything either...
