Is anger and anxiety really side affects of Bipolar Disorder? My boyfriend is only 24 and has put our relationship thru the ringer for the last 3 years. Anxiety is so bad at times that he blows up and destroys everything in sight over small issues. I mean angry to the point that he puts me in fear of what is going to happen next. He self medicates hiself with pot and alchol on a daily basis and hasen't had a job in almost 2 years due to his temper and attitude to others.I myself am much older (44) and have been diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder but I am the one that spends my days crying and completely depressed without medication. So as you can see It is really hard for me to understand the anger side. He says he can't get help because he has no money and no insurance. I was raised that drugs of any kind are wrong and he smokes pot every day and he says it's to calm his anxiety but after reading a few of these posts it really sounds like its not a good thing. He has started complaining about headaches and had a seizure the other day and never has before. Scared that the major use of pot since he was 8 is really starting to destroy him more and more inside? Would just like a few opinions about the difference between the useing of pot and alchol or getting help and useing medication instead??
Number one pot and booze don't go together and plot move should go on people's bodies if they want to stay mentally healthy, long-term
Number two. Bipolar disorder is hell and it is another name for it as manic depression, mania is like the euphoria and irritability, restlessness, pressured speech, it excited. Okay, in depression. While you know what that is. That's low energy levels. The blues down in the dumps Function can't think straight.
Lotta people smoke pot, drink beer, liquor, to help ease the symptoms of bipolar disorder, but ultimately it makes it worse. People will argue, but that they are entitled to have their opinion. Mine is that it makes it worse. My dad drank himself to death, and so did my uncle because there wasn't any good psychiatric medicines when they were suffering
