Well said @Dadcaringalone  I used to have uncontrolled rages too.  Haven't had one since around 2009 but the last one was an absolute doozy.  Outside at night screaming abuse and naming people in the neighbourhood, who could hear me.  Not long after that the police picked me up forcefully and took me 100km to the forensic psych ward at the hospital.  Kept in for a week but at last I was diagnosed and medicated correctly.  Another aspect of BP that I have to control actively.  Last year I got (justifiably) angry at my Mum, managed not to act it out, but was still hypomanic for the next 3 months.  I now know she can be a trigger for me and work at having boundaries in my relationship with her.

I know there are others here who also have to work at anger management.  Hopefully you'll get some more feedback from them too.
