Feeling Irritable And Pissed Off Today...
...but I don't know if that means I'm depressed or manic. I don't feel either. Just sick of people's shit today.

Holy crap! I was coming in here to write this exact post. I hope it feels slightly better to know others are struggling right along side you. I was thinking today that if I’m so irritable and don’t know which way it’s going, maybe I can do something to stabilize it (or just no depression, please).

I was literally going to write a post like this too. Everything has been pissing me off lately. Theres been some changes at work and its triggering a lot of irritability. I've been going back and forth between depression and hypomania between the irritation.. it's been exhausting.

The weirdest thing is, I was at my psych appointment two days ago and I told him it was the most stable I had felt and then BOOM.

Bipolar: forever wondering if this is just a feel or a symptom.

Mixed episode... my least favorite

Yep! I feel sorry for whatever innocent soul triggers me and is subjected to my reactions and my lack of fucks to give.

Same. I have a fuck everything, I don't care attitude. I don't want to do anything today.

Omg same here. I’m irritable and just want to be left the hell alone. Don’t bother me with petty crap today. I’m also hoping it doesn’t turn into full-blown depression.

Been there, still doing that.

I get this so much when I'm hypomanic. I'm super impatient and pissed off.

I’ve been feeling like this for the past 4 days maybe? I’m feeling more manic... Ugh. I hope it gets better for you!

It’s a form of hypomania. It sucks I know. I get it all the time.
It's the first thing to make family members ask if I have taken my pill or not that day. Usually I haven't for one reason or another.
That or I'm just stressed and nothing can be done but to leave me alone. Don't talk to me, don't touch me, don't breathe on me. Nothing you do will help other than letting me try to ride it out in peace. Sometimes a second pill does the trick.
Is it for sure? Like at what point is irritatibility is just being irritated vs being a part of hypomania or a mixed episode?
I'm not trying to argue just....if that's like a main thing then I've been in hypomania or a mixed episode for a couple of years... ot realizing I needed help
It’s usually because you can see a discernible pattern. If you’re depressed for awhile and then all of a sudden you’re highly angry and irritable instead for some time before switching to yet another mood, bipolar is a possibility, or some other mood disorder. It usually goes high, low, high, low. If you’re lucky you’ll get a level mood sometimes.
Elevated moods can be euphoria, mania, anger, anxiety, racing thoughts, paranoia, insomnia, sexual promiscuity, spending money like crazy, and yes, extreme irritability.
I thought it was all of them together. I got diagnosed while a hypomanic phase of anxiety, racing thoughts, paranoia, hypersexuality, insomnia, urge to leave, with extreme irritability filling in the days I wasn't otherwise on top of the world.
Now a days and for a significant portion of time before the switch to I guess more classic hypomania, I'm generally irritated at everything even if I am otherwise having a good day. I'd say I have a lot of irritable mood with some anger and anxiety and moderate depression. I see my dr in a week or so, I guess, I'm trying to figure out how I should be identifying my moods lately.
Oh it can definitely be s combination too. Those are just some of the examples I know of
