Just a word Clutter, a bit of a vent......

I so get you. You are among humans who have felt, do feel, and will feel this way again. I vascilate between feelings of humiliation over my embarrassing behavior during my flaming fits of passion and the desire to trade the deep depression I normally feel to do it all over again. Good luck.
how many people with bipolar are married and have sex outside the married

Well, it's a lot easier to stay committed to a good guy then a bad one. I never cheated but then I live in a small town and the sort of man I'd be attracted to...it would have been too messy. But I would have jumped any man's bones there towards the end if they'd asked. My ex didn't kiss me for the last two years of our marriage. He told me afterwards that ...

I never implied that YOUR hysterical person HAS a mental disability, on the other hand, many "angry and controlling" people, though undiagnosed, do, Once you can track what is triggering your unhappiness you have to try and understand it and then let it go. Isn't there ANYONE else who can teach you to drive? BP people often deal poorly with pressure...

That whole situation sounds so VERY familiar. I was just like you but now I can empathize with my mother (who is more severely BP but undiagnosed) now that I'm a mother too.
