Need help with coping skills for my bipolar anger

I’m so sorry you’re struggling with this. I struggle with bi-polar rage a lot and makes me feel so out of control. For me what helps is if I physically get it out. Punching bag, martial arts, workout, rip up magazine and boxes, throw ice or food and watch it smash. This prevents me from feeling so hostile towards others or myself and not create a bigger mess for myself to “clean up” once I’m ok. I’ve also realized things that get my mind off of it and humble me, although annoying helps. Like learn a new tedious skill or I’ll take a martial arts/boxing class and it brings me back down and realize I can’t go around destroying things without consequences but I can get the emotions out in a healthy way and process what’s really going on. I used to feel guilty but I’m trying to accept that I’m going to deal with it forever and need to do things that help me get out those feelings before they get uncontrollable. If I haven’t been controlling it in general by doing those things routinely and I’m already in the situation it’s just like someone takes over my brain and I don’t want to calm myself down, which is scary so I isolate when it’s that bad and eventually go back to my coping skills but it takes a while to get back to being able to do life with others and not get set off by the smallest things. I also find that “deep breathing” makes me more pissed off. What works for me is short, forceful breaths. What works for some doesn’t work for others. I hope you find what works for you and hopefully will give you some relief.

This is real simple stop being a ass you can control what you destroy or hurt people sure you get angry but find another outlet this excuse that your angry so therefore it is ok to destroy things and hurt others you just being a bully you can choose to write out your feelings or do something with art or music even be creative and not destructive with your anger no matter what the situation stay calm and not put your anger on people or this ngs to break and just say well the anger made me do it that's just crap so make better decisions

Oh my! I remember the bipolar rage I used to suffer from. Breaking and ripping and yelling... But being on a mood stabilizer has made a world of difference!
