i have bipolar but am always mainic, is anyone else always physical??

Question

i am 17 years old and been bipolar 2 years been on and off many drugs, but the thing is no matter what, when i get mad i seem to think i can abuse anything/anyone. last week i got totally wasted and punched my bf in the face like a man, a clean punch. weve broken up since then, ive been depressed, i just ruined the best thing that ever happend to me and the sad thing is i dont even remember doin it. im tryin to find people who experianced this, who get physical when they get angry and hit people they love. hopefully someone can tell me some triggers and what to do when they start getting mad. and how to calm myself down and stop this before it happens, im already going to meetings and stuff i need some real advice. and dont say doctor, i got appt next week :) thanks alot.

Answer 1

Honey, you probably need to see another doctor, because you really don't sound bipolar. If you are or aren't, a second opinion still wouldn't hurt. You may have simply an aggression disorder, you know. But seriously, see another doc.

Also, you haven't "been bipolar for 2 years" "you've been diagnosed with it for 2 years." You don't just all of a sudden have the disorder...it is a life long thing, it may simply have been triggered and worsened 2 years ago.
