Flying Off the Handle
Answer: Dear Friend, I suggest you get anger management coaching and resources. See: http://www.whatsgoodaboutanger.com/ for resources and articles which will help you deal with the anger.
Issues and Triggers:
Most likely, you have issues beneath the surface which need to be explored but, you also need to become aware of triggers and stressors precipitating your anger, new coping skills to manage anger, and what thinking patterns may be contributing to your anger.
Log some of the situations which recently caused you to feel angry and fly off the handle. What were the triggers? What happened and what were you thinking? Did you catastrophize the situation? Did you jump to false conclusions or personalize the situation? Were you stressed out by something else?
Distorted thinking and false beliefs such as: "I deserve to be treated..." or "I am entitled to..." contribute to anger escalation. If you can begin to control the hot self-talk and challenge your thinking with reality and truth - your angry emotions will defuse. Taking a Time-out is one of the best ways to control your anger.
Our resources teach various coping skills for managing anger.
Order the What's Good About Anger? book, DVD, workbooks and courses.
Mental Health treatment: Since your psychiatrist thinks you have bipolar disorder - I suggest you follow his recommendations for counseling and medication. Bipolar disorder does have a chemical/physiological basis and needs to be treated as such. Also, counseling can help give you perspective on your life, help you express your feelings and teach to healthy ways to cope with anger.
Since you have abusive tendencies - I suggest you read and order some of the resources found at: Safe Relationships. God bless!
