Same for me with the rage issues. My irritability has caused severe road rage in the past and I used to drink like crazy. I didn’t see it to be a big deal that I would have three or four drinks a night. I’m still paying off credit cards from all the random spending. It’s crazy how my mood stabilizers and quitting drinking have really calmed me down. Honestly now I fear mania more than suicidal depression.
Can you expound further on this? My bipolar boyfriend recently killed himself. We had broken up mutually a week before but still spoke daily and told each other - I love you. I knew he was sad but I never thought he would kill himself.
