Hey @Zoe6 

Thank you for sharing this and for reaching out. I am sure there are many members here on the forums that will be able to help you with some advice on this situation, or share if they have experienced anything similar. 

Unfortunately I don't have a lot of experience with bipolar, but I do come from a household where one of my parents used to have very angry episodes (verbally) which has caused me to have a lot of anxiety regarding anger in my adulthood. I've worked through this with others to understand why that used to happen, and what would trigger this in my parent, but one thing that has stuck with me is the fact that they often don't mean what they are saying, and that a lot of what they are saying is because they are hurting and they want you to hurt too. I'm not saying that this is what is happening in your situation AT ALL, but I found some sort of comfort in it knowing that the person that was angry wasn't actually often meaning their harshness to come across at the individual they love, but rather the emotion of anger itself. 

Are you currently speaking to anyone about how this makes you feel, or have you tried to communicate this with your partner at all? I ask this because although I think that communication is extremely important, it is a lot harder when you don't know how the other person will react.

Here for you and sitting with you through this,
