[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 40868, member: 1550"] I have bipolar and had it as a kid and once a rage came on, it took over. I couldn't stop it and couldn't stop myself from it happening again. This continued on into adulthood. I still raged until the medications were right. I haven't had a rage in about fifteen years now, but I remember (will never forget) the shame I felt and the out-of-control/I-am-crazy feeling I felt after a rage. It probably seemed like I was being a manipulative brat, and my mother thought I was one until she passed on--she never forgave me for my rages. But I know I couldn't stop them. I would have done anything if I could have. medication control is soooooooooo important in bipolar, in both kids AND adults. I believe many BiPolar (BP) adults commit crimes that aren't really in their control because of BiPolar (BP) too. You start sliding up and you feel you can get away with anything and you're above the law. You slide down and you're so depressed, you take something from a store to hope you feel better and because you don't care what happens to you anymore (these are just two examples). It's a confusing illness for the parent, but it's worse for the person suffering. JMO [/QUOTE]
