Bipolar- Is it possible to restrict your mood swings to certain times or people?
Q. So during depression, you might be a bit under par or unsociable at school or work, but when you get home you might be in absolute rages with your loved ones. During mania, you would act silly and hilarious at home or school, and at home just stay up all night with racing creative thoughts. Does this or can this happen if you have bipolar? I am really interested to know so please do reply : ) Does this happen when you have bipolar or would you act the same everywhere with everyone?

A. Usually you would act the same everywhere except that your family may take more of your anger (anger is more common during mania) that other people because you feel more comfortable around them. When I am depressed it is much more than just being "a bit under par". I usually manage to get to work (but not always) but I have sat at my desk and cried for hours...

Bipolar (manic depression) How do you handle the depressive rocketing out into mania?
Q. My roommate has become a "Rocket Man" with manic behavior and I am stuck here with his mania. As I am bipolar myself, I am aware of the symptoms, but don't know how to handle this guy.
Asked by Bob - Wed Mar 19 21:35:52 2008 - - 5 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Mania can be a very dangerous phase, and as for trying to control someone there - it is difficult. Clearly if they are a friend then you need to watch out for them and try too stop them doing anything too dangerous or stupid. Perhaps you can then talk when they are feeling better and ask them when it happens next time what they would like you to do for them.
