I found myself feeling frustrated toward my boss, co-worker, family and friend, for no real reason. They didn't do anything to me, in fact, lots of them care for me.
But I feel frustrated then being grateful. I feel as if nobody in the world understand me and accept me as who I am, I have bipolar disorder.
And there is more and more anger storing in my chest, waiting to explore when I cannot hold it no more. I feel so lost. Though I keep telling myself don't give up, don't give up, there is always hope; life just seems so heavy to me.
I become even more emotional, wanting to cry, to shout, to break something. In the same time, I found myself worried about my health, worried about becoming schizophrenia.
My boss is also my aunt who loves me more than my parents, and at the same time, I feel the most frustrated toward her. She believes I can over come bipolar and schizophrenia, which I cannot. I had accepted that I have bipolar disorder and there is no cure yet.

Well...having a friend that unfortunately has this disorder I partially know where you're coming from. From the outside, people are mainly accusitory and hardly understanding when your real battle is with yourself. My friend is depressed on minute, sad the next and suddenly happy again. This behaviour is not only destructive towards those around you but also yourself. Her family finally got her on Prozac and now she has her life back and her emotions under control. Bi Polar can be controlled without medication but it is extremely hard which can add on to the stress that which already existing. Go see your counselor or doctor to get a prescription. Good luck!

You may need to discuss these feelings with a mental health professional who can help you through them and also go to a local Support group for sufferers so you can gain valuable support from those who have actually been there, it will help you cope. I knew several person who had Bi-Polar, schizophrenia and SAD (seasonal) and it was very difficult for them to control the times when they're was manic and then crashed for days out as depressive. Yes, that is part of the disease but it's not as if being frustrated is going to just "go away"
I read an article about it and other mood disorder, (links below) where the interviewed sufferers personally to get their thoughts and Lucia (from that article) said "Seeing a mental-health professional has been absolutely vital for my learning to deal with and ride out the mood swings that accompany this disease," she says. Lucia also emphasizes the value of rest. "Sleep is an important key to dealing with mania," she says. "The less sleep I get, the higher I climb. Even when sleep won't come, instead of getting up I have trained myself to lie there and rest."
Some even write a journal of thoughts, or find other ways to cope with the feelings they have. You, with help, can find a way to cope, too. You can "overcome" in the sense that you can not let this disease "steal ALL your joy", you be proactive and get HELP to help you get through the moods you have. It's worth a try.

first of all, try to find out where all these feelings come from. if there is no reason and they still come up, just think of something else! yes life is good, there is always hope and there is always a way!
but if you really have bipolar disorder, you NEED to take medicine and DO NEVER STOP no matter how good you feel! see a doctor about it. he will tell you that you need the medicine to balance out some hormons in your brain that regulate your moods.

Yup don't list to those whiney naturalist bastards who say "oh you can overcome it without medicine!" There is some kinda naturalist, mind of matter, cult/mysticism way of thinking going around now days that is akin to the shamans of the middle ages.
You can't change a serious genetic chemical imbalance simply by thinking "happy thoughts" or what ever else for that matter. Your best bet is to get some medication that works well for you with minimal side effects, and get a supportive girlfriend who is attracted to your needy nature.

Reason is so sought after that it creates an uncontrollable irritation which causes an endless search within some instance of pause. This smothering pressure breaks open the spaces in the mind where secret meanings linger behind pretended truths that can only be unjust.

i too have the similar problem. apart from using sertraline tablets shift your focus to reading or watching TV or e mailing your friends. face to face communication may not help.
