My expansive high euphoric manic moods have subsided since having my Depakote raised but now for more than a week I’ve been quick to anger getting bouts of irritability but it’s not constant.
This most likely means that I’m still mood cycling but subtly
I see my psychiatrist this week and I don’t know if I should ask her to adjust my meds.
I am on enough meds and I like the fact that I’m more assertive and focused now
I’m also quick to get angry if someone is pushing my buttons. Especially dad.
Learn to deal with anger, find ways to express it as it comes, don’t let it eat you from inside. Use strong words if necessary, get a punching bag; and most importantly don’t blame yourself.
We have every right to be angry, with fate, with people and with the maker if there’s such a thing.
Find beauty and meaning in simple things. Listen to Mozart, smell some roses or contemplate a painting. Doing this helps me regain my cool after ruminating dark thoughts for a while.
Med adjustments may become necessary, I agree. Expecting meds alone to keep you perpetually happy is a mistake imho.
