I have done so much reading on this topic and I think this is what I suffer from. I cant seem to get a handle on my anger and its killing my marriage. I get so angry at my husband for sometimes no real reason but by the time I realize that I have gone to far, we are yelling and screaming. I am so scared that he is going to leave me over this. He just doesn't know what to say or how to help me...he just gets so mad at me. I come here looking for support from other women that suffer from this and find out what I can start doing to help my issues. I am scheduled to go to my dr on Tues, Feb 9....but I sure could use some support til then....

for 10 years but now i try to be stable only
with acupuncture, good nutrition, vitamins B6-B16,

Bipolar
Hi. I have been going to the doctors for 10 years with mental health problems and I have seen many professionals over the years. I was on a few occasions prescribled anti depressants which made things worse, I have since found out this was the worst thing to give me because of my mood problems.
Two weeks ago I was formally diagnosed with ultradian rapid-cycling bipolar disorder and feel a relief that I finally know whats wrong. I have lost many freinds and relationships because of my behaviour but now I have some hope.
I advise you to go to the doctors and tell them your suspicions. Tell them you would like to see someone for a psychological evaluation. If you are not happy with the results keep asking for help you will get the right help in the end. I must say though, on a final note, that you should not go for a psycholgical evaluation with blinkers on; by this I mean don''t go thinking that you definately have bipolar because there could be many reasons for your problems, keep an open mind.
Good luck
