anybody know anything about this condition?

mainly,weather or not the person is aware of how they are acting during the time of their mood swings. if they are self-aware of how sad/angry they are being towards themselves and others

You guys are wrong as far as people being aware of how they are behaving. When you are bi polar and in a manic or depressive state you may be aware of that. But when it goes into treating people bad and having anger issues it is not something that someone who has bi polar dis order even knows is happening.

I am bi polar and I go from extreme states of happiness to depression for months at a time. I get aggressive and angry and snap over dumb shit, and I don't even know I'm doing it usually till it's too late.

Being bi polar is not fun. When your down, your in the dirt, when your up, your in the clouds. Like there is no in between and it's really hard to settle down and just live life. The meds they give will make you want to kill yourself as well.

I was on depecote for a while and yeah I just wanted to slit my wrist and give up.

Yes, but being in hostile or stressful situations and surroundings can be a "trigger". Not all people suffering from bi-polar disorder are in the same environment.

Brugh, there are times I get up in the morning and not say a word (for reason of not wanting to hear it) and all hell breaks loose with no reason for it. There is no hostile enviorment around here until she goes bananas over the most minor thing. She pisses off everybody in the house and the next minute she want's to hug and be lovey dovey the next minute...after everybody's in a fucked up mood for the rest of the day.

And like "azryda420" said, there are no good meds for it (unless your seeking suicide).

I find myself walking away and taking long drives often.

Multiple identity disorder is a bitch.

I do things and then the next day feel like i'm a different person and feel guilty about my actions the day before. Like when I drink alot. It fuckin sucks having to regret that shit the next day.

multiple personality disorder...dissociative identity disorder.....are some other names for it, but hella people mix it up with schizophrenia which is different. my ex's mom had a few other personalities....shit was mainey when she would go off. we'd find her under the ping pong table with a stuffed toy thinking she was 3 years old

When i say enviroment, i dont mean "in the moment". There are several things that can trigger someone to go hi of low. Maybe she has something on her mind and it escalates to where it needs to be released. Just becuase YOU see her moods swings as unprovokved, in her mind, it may be a different scenario. Something that happend the week before could be lingering in her mind and that can set it off.

There are also different extremes if bipolar disorder...some have it mildly while others experience it in extreme form.

My friend has biploar disorder and he can be set off by something and he will completely fly off the handle to the point of pulling guns out. I have sat and talked to him about it and he does nto realize it gets that bad, becuase for him is it normal. But many times, he'll tell me that something set him off in his head...whether it be a bad conversation with his mom days prior, or a fight with his girlfriend/something she did a week ago. Other times, he will get irritated with someone and he will fly off the handle.

This is what i mean by "trigger". This is not to say that every mood swing is triggered by something, and that is not always the case, but we are NOT in these folks' heads.

Bipolar disorder is catergorized a as MOOD disorder

And like "azryda420" said, there are no good meds for it (unless your seeking suicide).
Medication ALWAYS works differently with everyone, so it may work well for others and not work at all for some. Some people have it so bad that they have to be in a controlled environment. There is an apartment building a few blocks from my house that houses people that have mood and other mental disorders who can actually function in every day life, they just need constant monitoring. An old friend of mine had a buddy that lived there who suffered from mania, or manic depression as most call it. You would never know it if you met him, one of the most solid and kind people I have ever encountered.

Dissociative identity disorder (multiple personality) is a dissaciatoive disorder and can be scary. THey say that this disorder stems from stressful situations as a child. Most who suffer from this disorder have one personality that is a child. The brain actually seperates the personality to deal with the pain or trauma suffered. Some psychologists have actually suggested that is isnt even a disorder, but an extremely elaborate role playing done by the person to releive themselves of a traumatic experience.

Amnesia is present with dissociative disorders.

Did doctors diagnose you with dissosociative disorder? This just sounds like extreme guilt from being absolutely hammered.
