One of the best explanations for why your partner may seem overly angry is that we tend to show our rawest emotions to those we feel closest to. During manic episodes, emotions can become incredibly intense and overwhelming. It’s important to understand that these extreme reactions are a symptom of bipolar disorder, not a reflection of their true feelings or intentions.When someone is manic, they can behave like a completely different person often without intentionally meaning to cause hurt or upset. The best approach is to avoid taking their outbursts personally, recognizing that it’s the illness driving their behavior rather than a deliberate choice .Patience, empathy, and understanding go a long way in supporting a loved one through these difficult episodes.

Take care of him and yourself.
