SynapticKaos Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 So, I was in a bipolar chat, and was rather shocked to find that people were horrified that I have had a propensity to be violent during manic phases. Is this a rare thing, or are they just some special snowflakes? I mean, I'm not talking about random shit, just, my patience for people's stupidity drops below zero, and I won't hesitate to blast someone that deserves it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iceberg Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 I don't think that's rare but I think it's usually it's more intent but not following through Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you define as someone who "deserves it"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jordansonfleek Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 Yes! Physically violent and planning with intent in my mind. But it gets a lot better when I go back on my meds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iceberg Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 Problem is: more people "deserve it" when your manic ...at least for some 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 Not during mania, but mixed is another story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My manic episodes usually involve a lot of anger, so this is just part of falling in that line Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What would someone have to do to make you so angry that you punch them? Don't get me wrong, I've been in a lot of fights, but they were always for a reason, I'm just wondering what yours is.

Iceberg Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 Yeah but isn't the point that it's not logical....I scream at people for eating crunchy food Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gearhead Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 I've never injured anyone but myself while manic, but I'm pretty sure that if I were a guy, I'd get in a lot of bar fights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crtclms Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 I made plans to kill my mother when I was having a mixed episode/dysphoric mania. It wasn't out of nowhere, though, she has not treated me well even since I was a young child. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacques Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 I've never actually been physically violent, but I've certainly had thoughts about harming people when mixed. Verbally is another thing entirely. I can get absolutely vicious and pick fights over minor things and say really awful shit. I've never actually hit someone when in a manic rage though.
