**dragonlady's husband speaking here**
I'm bipolar, and have been on meds. If you know you're bipolar, the only right thing to do is see a doctor, for your benefit and those around you. especially if you're doing things that you regret later.
unchecked and unmedicated, bipolar is a hard road, can lead to self-medication like alcohol or drugs, which can really make you cycle, and really do a number on your behavior. this is destructive, leading to problems with family, friends, marriage, job, finances, jail, drugs, alcohol, etc...
friendly advice- in addition to seeing a psychiatrist for meds, see a counselor also, since bipolar people almost always have "baggage" which also tends to make behavior destructive.

Excellent advice! KW13, please, please for your own sake and for the sake of your wife and baby, please follow Dragonlady's husband's advice. There's so much in your life to gain from it, and so much to lose if you don't get the right help.

You don't have to be bi-polar to get really, really pissed.

I've hit so many inanimate objects over the years in a bi-polar rage that I'm surprised I haven't broken my own hands.

First thing you should do if your hand is that bad and you can't get to a doc is to ice it down.

Put the ice in a zip lock bag and wrap that in a thin towel.

Don't let it sit on your skin for an extended periond or you'll get frost bite.

Take anti-inflamatory meds to get the swelling down.

Once you do that, you can figure out better how bad you're hurt.

I'll let you in on a little secret....and I've had lots of practice ...when you get that angry, and you need to let it out, you did good by hitting the door not the person.

But...you just hit it wrong...use the bottom of your balled-up fist (slamming/chopping motion), not the front where your fingers are (punching motion).

Just as stress relieving, and you break the thing you're slamming, not your fingers.

Understand that I'm not advocating getting in a rage and losing your temper, but if it happens, you can at least keep from hurting yourself that way.

Thanks for asking about me!

Things have been stressful at my new job, but it has gotten much better in the past few days, and I find that I look forward to going to work so that has to be a good thing.

On the downside, I did corrupt the BIOS on our main computer at home this morning. (stupid DFI overclocker board, yuck ) I found out that I can fix it if I really really want to, but it would suck to do it. I just ended up ordering a cheap replacement ASUS mother board so I can get something that isn't so pissy to work on.

So, my family had to put up with me while I was in a nasty mood all morning.

And what you did, that right there (the asking about me even though you're hurt part) is what I like about other bi-polar people. I find bi-polar people to be sensitive and caring (at least when we aren't in a rage)...great traits that really appeal to me. Not to say non-bi-polar people aren't ofcourse...

Thanks again.

I hope you feel better soon.
