I was angry when I clicked on this. Only took about 5 minutes of listening for the anger to completely dissipate. Thank you for taking the time to explain things in an understanding way.
I recently lost a very valuable relationship due to my anger and blow ups. They couldn't take it anymore and I have so much regret. Saying "I'm sorry" means nothing when you have had to say it a hundred times, even if you are genuinely truly sorry. Sometimes losing something so important to you is what it takes to finally make a change in your life. This video was great.
One of the best things I've been doing is take a 30min or 1 hour or longer walk - while listening to healthy audiobooks. I do this every morning, and it sets me up right for the rest of the day.
Rob, I don't know how someone can be angry with you. Your one of our greatest advocates. Please keep doing what your doing. Your more of a help of a help then you know.
I’m in tears watching this because at this moment I feel like I’m losing myself. Today I said things to my mother and husband that I’ve never said before. My episodes have never been this bad.
M̤̈Ë̤Ë̤Z̤̈ C̤̈Ḧ̤Ë̤Ë̤S̤̈Ë̤ I’m glad I saw this comment. A Very warm welcome to my channel. Don’t feel bad about being in tears… That just means that you had a profound realization. I’ve had many of those and they’ve been a bittersweet part of my journey. You are absolutely not alone in this experience. If you’d like more support or to talk to me about this personally, consider checking out my community on Patreon. For about the price of a cup of coffee each month, you can send me direct messages and get access to a lot more personal content that I don’t post on RU-vid. It’s pretty rare that I respond to RU-vid comments because of how many I get now. I always read most of them and noticed your comment. My hheart went out to you because I’ve really been there my friend. And you know I’m not just saying that LOL. Take gentle care of yourself and stop by the channel anytime🤗😊 -Rob
11:40 Self awareness and self dialogue 13:40 Don't chase the mania 15:40 Don't get near the Keyboards 16:50 Mania rage - without some kind of Outlet, it comes out 19:00 what about coping skills ready for anger attacks 20:40 Triggers 22:10 Medication can help reduce agitation 24:50 Keep journals always with you 26:00 Don't choose wrong coping strategies 26:25 Observation and feedback from others are Huge
Even if nobody hears or sees my rage, I have massive guilt. Self-forgiveness is a huge issue for me, as is self-loathing. It's been compounded by isolation. I fear getting close to anyone because of what I'm capable of.
My partner of 15yrs finally convinced me to see doctor after going through a series of hyper-rage, depression, hyper-mania phases during several weeks. After seeing the doctor for several months, she diagnosed me as ultra-ultra rapid cycle bipolar 1 with extreme manic rages/creativity. The medications that I am on have helped me some but we are still working on getting the right combinations and amounts. Your videos have helped me figure out things and gain better control over my mood shifts. One thing I have started to do is to clinch my fist when an anger mood starts. This makes me more aware of the growing anger in me. Most cases I remove myself from the situation or try to see other the other side. I sometimes channel my rage into writing about what trigger me. then I go back later and read it.
Drew Herbert - glad you got some treatment! I’m just regular rapid cycling, but with a mixed state. I see your picture is a wolf? My spirit animal used to be a wolf, because I felt like I changed into a fucking werewolf due to my anger! 😁
I clicked on this video after my wife (4th) told me that she could not remain with me if I didn't some way to manage my anger. My mother was bipolar, and I've avoided a bipolar diagnosis and treatment for over 20 years, telling myself that I was just a "moody" and "high strung" person because of my career path. I always knew there was something "off" about the way I felt things and the way my mood changed. I recognized so many things you talked about in this video (and others since). I immediately started a mood journal, cut out caffeine and extra sugar from my diet, and immediately looked up a local psychologist. That was 4 weeks ago, but we've already seen an amazing change from just those few steps. Recognizing, admitting I had a problem, and actively seeking to alter my behavior have made a huge difference. I know there's a long, hard road ahead - therapy, meds, working with my wife and family. But I cannot thank you enough for this work you are doing and the time you've put in to help others. This thing has robbed me of so much in my life. I can honestly say that I feel an optimism about the future that I've never felt before. Thank you so much.
I've seen psychologist for 50 or so years. I've been diagnosed with bipolar and have taken every medication you can imagine. I'm still hoping that some prescription will work. Your presentation regarding anger is 100% me. The things I've said and done over the years are horrific. I've been through one marriage. The son I had during that marriage will not speak to me anymore and has changed his last name to his stepfathers name. I've had challenges in all relationships weather at work or elsewhere. My psychologist tells me considering what he knows about me that he is amazed that I'm still employed, my wife hasn't left me and I'm still alive. My wife and children in this, my second marriage are incredibly forgiving. My wife says she sees a good side in me. There's times I want to walk away and not put my family through my mood swings. At the same time I'd hate to lose them. Interestingly enough I still have a problem trying to determine whether I'm bipolar or just an a-hole. I don't blame my actions on bipolar I take full responsibility. After 50 some years of dealing with this I'm convinced I won't be cured so I try to manage it. I'm understandably tired of the whole thing. I fall down then I fall down then I get up and then I fall down. Quite enjoyable. Thanks for your RU-vid presentation.
Thank you so much again for your informative information. My hubs and I had a horrible weekend due to these really confusing issues. I'll be donating to your cause. You've probably saved my marriage numerous times now with your information and helping me understand his illness better.💚
Felice G. First off, I’m just so glad that I could help your relationship. That’s exactly what I’m here for. Thank you so much for even considering donating. No pressure or obligation at all. I do this out of love 😊☀️
Felice G. - my marriage is in the tank as are most of my personal relationships. I really want to save my marriage. Congrats to you. I know you posted this a year ago, how are things got no?.. ❤️🙏
I’ve walked out on jobs and family gatherings before because I’ve got angry about something but not been able to pinpoint it on anything. I never realised this was part of a mental illness.
Thank you so very much for the video! I have ADHD, PTSD and I am bipolar. I am going to DBT and it helps a great deal with the PTSD and panic attacks but the bipolar side is rarely addressed. I was so angry today over stupid things that I Finally decided to look it up on RU-vid. You were the first video I clicked on and I was thrilled to realize you were talking about bipolar syndrome. I can’t wait to see the rest of your videos!
I am 67 years old and was just diagnosed with bipolar 2, something present for many years. Such 4a clear, straightforward, and helpful video 👍. In watching your videos and some others plus reading and reading I finally understand myself . I was diagnosed with MDD in my early forties with symptoms clearly present even as a child. After a traumatic physical and emotional event as a young teenager the symptoms progressed through the years. Now 45 years of marriage, motherhood, a medical career, a grandmother I don’t quite understand how I am still alive to write this!. I am quite sure I have had bipolar 2 for many years but was only treated for the MDD. I too have harmed and lost many relationships due to the nature of these stormy crashes and I thought I was just truly crazy or mean spirited when in between I wasn’t. I am grateful to be at a place in my life where I can keep my stress at a low level and demands minimal. I truly admire your younger generation for speaking out about mental illness. My generation has been unfortunately pretty silent on the issue. For us such a shameful thing. And for this we have suffered greatly, in silence, as untreated mental illness has tossed us like the ocean waves on a rocky coast. Never at peace inside our minds, just chaos and pain. The subject matter of your videos is enlightening and so informative. And with knowledge comes power to manage this thing. The tone of your voice draws one to listen to what you have to say. Thanks for your time and efforts in putting these videos out there. 👏👏👏
Exactly getting into debates, not wanting to stop talking and end it until the person agrees. Hard to stop when you feel you’re so right. But it’s not getting you anywhere and you’re just getting more and more agitated. Like you said need to step out of the situation stop yourself. Very hard though but definitely necessary.
At about 20 I was diagnosed with it and I just ignored it all and carried on my life as normal because I was so angry about being labelled "crazy". I was determined to beat it and used myself as a guinea pig for years. I conducted health experiments on my body and mind and what I learned about how to handle my own manifestations of the condition is astounding. Though it may not work as well for others. To control bipolar, I control other key aspects of my life eg diet,exercise, social and physical environment, how I use my time, degree of light/darkness, colours, sounds etc. What I discovered is amazing! I feel so proud of this achievement.
@@PolarWarriors A lot of people feeling thankful for this channel . you are taking your time to educate it another people whom are suffering from mental illness that is Priceless . Thank you so much
When I was terribly manic and didn’t sleep for 8 days/ nights ( wasn’t taking my depakote BAD idea!!) I took it out on my sister.. sent her probably the worst message I could’ve sent to someone who has been there through my hardest times. We are just getting our relationship back… I’m a work in progress and I’m taking all of my medicine. I just joined a bipolar support group with NAMI hoping that will help me with my bipolar and stay on my medicine. And thank you for these videos… they are life saving!
Thank you for this video, you have described my world precisely and made me feel less “crazy” and taught me not to blame or hate myself, it’s the bipolar making me act or feel certain ways. I really appreciate your candidness. ❤️
Jaden Humphries - hi Jaden, I recently got diagnosed with Bi-Polar 2, with rapid cycling, with a mixed state. I’m now on Geodon and it is helping a lot! I’m not totally sane yet, I can still get triggered by shit, but not by every thing all the time! Good luck friend!
I was diagnosed at 14 with bipolar. After having a major depressive episode followed by a violent episode. It has caused me alot of issues over the years. But I have been able to notice the changes better over the last few years and have learned what triggers the up and downs. I have learned when I am really angry to type a letter and then print it out and just hold on to it for a couple of days then toss it.
I really enjoy this channel; most people just brush people off and label them as "crazy" when they find out you have it; to the point that you can start to believe it yourself. I have learned a lot. It makes me wonder why some doctors don't take the time to discuss these issues. thanks
wow I just learned so much from this, and I feel like finally someone understands what goes on in my head. Ive never been diagnosed with anything, never even attempted to get help. This has been so eye opening, THANKYOU for this

Im new to all this and didnt know much at all. My therapist recommended I look up youtube videos to help me understand better. When I came across your page I knew id find help, and help you have done. Love this video so much, I needed tips and tools to help me navigate through this. Thank you so much for your knowledge and kindness. I appreciate you!
I was probably one of the best for you as you've done man that really brought attention to my anger and everything frustration when I have a problem going on with my family so I mean heck you're doing one heck of a job will continue to be there to watch your videos and be a willing supporter
I am about 90% sure I am bi-polar. I told my Dr this and she asked me about 10 questions, to which I answered yes to 7, and then she said I’m not bi-polar. I’m going to get a second opinion because I am angry about 80% of every day. I can’t live like this any more. Thanks for this video. So much.
Rob has a video about a questionaire he co-created with Julie Fast. I believe you can find the checklist on polarwarriors.com. Yes, a second opinion might be a good idea! Keep searching!

I'm always in wild rage mode all the time. Just by listening to this video, I understand what I need to do in order to control that rage. Thank you for explaining this in detail and showing me the steps to stop it.
Thank you so much for that feedback! It means a lot to me as a mental health advocate. Hope you have a wonderful weekend and stop by the channel anytime :-) Rob
I listen to soothing music 2 take long walk 3 do breathing exercises 4 self affirmation assuring myself that everything would be okay 5 exercises 6 last but not lest yoga
Completely and absolutely relatable. For myself, one thought that makes me "chase the mania" is when I sit and think and reflect on everything I've been and what I am now. If I had the choice to erase my existence, I would... But that's how I feel currently (depressed phase for about a week now for over socializing and analysis paralysis, I'm an unhealthy "INTP" (MBTI) I've studied and have practiced to understand my unconscious emotional rushes, while I casually try to keep my composure, "reflecting" in other words. I sometimes drag myself within a rabbit hole. Genuinely speaking, I know ill never get better in the form I'd like do to other effects in live as well. I've gain more control and more "access" to things I would consider. What I used to be is disappointing. I've done a lot of things I wouldn't change though. If I change my father's death as a kid, than I'd never have specific "lenses" or view of perceptions I have gained now. I mean i could study sure, but I've been in environments that have made me open. I wish the best for everyone going threw this. I'm still here currently, but only thing we can do is just keep swimming and study and practice mindfulness (i like the Cognitive triangle I've noticed quite a bit, but I don't base my life on it. Sorry for the rant. I'm going into work and anxious as all hell, this calms me🤷♂️🤷♂️ "Anything worth doing, is worth doing Badly"
Don't let a few unsimpathetic people that just don't understand what we go through deter you from continuing these very supportive, and informative information! It is terrific to see that you are posting these videos not only for others but especially for you. I think it is amazing how you are able to communicate your own experiences in such an organized calming manner. I am trying to organize my own thoughts and experiences to share due to my brain constantly racing. Thankfully that I am getting 3 combinations of anxiety and mood stabilizers for me to cut back on a few of the extreme behaviors. Like what u shared about what you are still struggling and working on, I too still deal with these setbacks. Medication alone obviously not a cure. I don't think there is an actual cure, right?
Rob, thank you SO very much for this brilliant video! I suffer from anger, rage, etc, especially with mania. I've been diagnosed as having manic dysphoria. So, this information is perfect for me! Many blessings upon you for giving 150% of yourself in preparing, researching and producing your lifesaving videos! You have changed my outlook and life! And, that's an understatement! Much love...
Thank you for your knowledge, and helping me feel like I'm not the only one with this illness. It's a rough road for most. Since my proper diagnosis, and treatment thereof, I'm 100% better. My anger especially, has been easier to manage. The ability to let things go, and to bury the hatchet, is something I'm still working on. With the proper connections along with therapy has been the life saver for me. Having someone to look out for you, or advocate for your rights is crucial for a patient with any mental health issues. These tips are great and I'm so happy there's someone out there trying to help people that would normally be hospitalized or imprisoned.

Bipolar without medication has been some of the shittiest years of my life. I feel my depressive modes getting a ton worse and the anger along with it being channeled and directed towards the wrong people. I wish I was able to express the words that you’ve shared within the first few minutes without sounding as if I’m letting my illness define me.
Your channel has been helpful to me in the past few months. It encouraged me to get my mental health evaluated and I was told I am now or should say have always been a Polar Warrior. I have a lot of fears moving forward.

There are two types of cannabis that I am aware of. Sativa and indica. Also there are hybrids which are a mixture of the two types. I have type 1 bipolar and I use cannabis as a way of treatment. I developed ways of coping through cannabis. I have frequent "rage episodes" where it is exactly like you explained. What i have discovered is that if I notice the aggitation is happening and I am not feeling right, i try to medicate with the indica type for it is high in CBD. The calming effect is enough to calm the rage and allow me to center myself. I don't believe medicating with cannabis is a wise thing to do if you aren't aware of your disorder yet. Because you don't know what you are treating and don't know if it is depression or mania. That's where self awareness is key to any kind of treatment for any form of bipolar disorder. Great video! Bipolar rage isn't something we like to talk about 😕
I really appreciate your honest and vulnerability. I have family members with Bipolar disorder, and I have learned a lot from your videos. Thank you so much!
Was feeling 😠 about life this morning, stuck in vicious cycles can't seem to catch a break... Failing at everything right now. But I'm acknowledging the problem and willing to work even harder.
I first discovered this channel a few days ago. I can’t believe how many of my behaviours and experiences that I thought were unrelated to bipolar disorder were actually typical for people with this illness.
15 years ago a very bad tragedy happened to our family and my wife seemed to change over night. She always had emotional and mental issues but they were very mild compared to now. She was diagnosed Bipolar 1 and PTSD. It has been a terrible 15 years she suffers from crushing depression to euphoric mania to explosive anger. Shes been to many doctors and went through many, many pills just to get where she is now. I see her suffer everyday and I know sometimes she just wants to die but she believes that dying is easy living is a much deserved punishment and she wants to suffer and hurt everyday. Everything now is so much sadder and darker and the nightmare just never helps. Be gentle with yourself if you can you have worth.
thank you so much. Its not overselling it to say that this video among few others has saved my life. I was always shamed so bad by my narcissistic mother to the point where I was too ashamed of getting help with my anger or even the courage to youtube videos about it like now. Im so glad i finally did it. anger was/is completely compromising me and it scares me alot. The rest is up to me. Knowing all this new stuff is already helping me out alot! I know how to deal with it now. Thank you!
I truly appreciate your kind words! It means a lot to know that my videos resonate with you and provide some understanding. Your journey is important, and I'm honored to be a part of it. -Rob www.patreon.com/PolarWarriors
Just want to say thank you for the videos. They have helped me a lot to understand my daughter. It has been a struggle for a very long time and I wish I had seen these videos about seven years ago to have better help my daughter.

Complexity explained with clarity is quite rare and definitely valuable. Thank you sir for reaching out 🙏. This man's words are very well thought out. Definitely impressed with his depth of thinking things through. I am going to subscribe.
This is wild. I knew I had an anger problem but hearing you talk about your experience and realizing that it is exactly what I deal with, I'm starting to think I'm bipolar. It's a word people tend to throw around so I ignorantly never took it seriously.
I struggle hard with this. I am self aware, but it's the overwhelming thought of "this will make me feel better" when I know it only causes more problems that make me feel worse. I have to sometimes physically stop myself from opening my mouth and saying stupid things by eating something, breathing deeply, getting up and walking away from the situation. Etc. Thank you for posting videos!

Thank you so much not only for the help but for the hope too, I didn't knew anyone that had to go through bipolar disorder as myself and that felt really lonely but thanks to your channel I am able to listen to your advise and see there's people that have to go through exactly the same things I go through and are able to live happy lives.
Marcos Marín I am so glad that you found my channel and you are very welcome here! It is a horrible feeling to feel alone and go through something like this. I will have lots more videos to come, so stop by anytime :-)
I definitely have anger management issues. I try to channel that anger into something positive. When I'm feeling like that I workout and play my piano. It doesn't always help. But anger can be put to good use of you can manage discipline. But that can take months to get rid of that feeling. Yesterday I was irate over something small. I listened to 48 laws of power. Law 39 helped, I saw the error of my ways and how it can be used against me. There is no cure, but I consider myself a work in progress.
Thank you so much for your time on this video. I’m trying the self help method. I have not been the greatest to my significant other and children. Thank you for your time!!!
Dude you’re a f***ing lifesaver man, a lot of your stuff is helpful as a source of corroboration but a lot of it contains crucial new information as well. Thank you brother!
Hello. My wife was just diagnosed. It has been a struggle. I'm bipolar 2. And she is bipolar 1. We are both trying to learn about each others diagnosis and your videos have been extremely helpful. Thanks

Amazing timing finding this. Literally walked away from a potential fight to smoke and chill when RU-vid suggested this, yes THC helps me. Benzos leave me too hungover feeling and I hate that. One thing I did stop to notice after being medicated: 0/0 things have been broke due to a brief flight from my rage. 😂 Also, you know how we tend to have a weird superpowers when channeling some of our bipolar qualities? I literally just realized it was my rage energy from wanting to find the absolute truth and moral position in debates that helped me finish my degree in political science. Strangly enough, I don't get emotional discussing politics because I channel that energy into philosophical and policy research. When debating, my pleasant demeanor gets under an otherwise calm person's skin, because most people actually do get emotional and rageful when discussing politics. It is gratifying to win by logical reasoning, but I'd be lying to not admit how amusing it is to watch their emotion. God I'm so f'd up. 😂Really glad I found this channel. It's super hard to practice any philosophy when you haven't the slightest idea about the affects of your own mental handicap. Thank you x100000
That last part hit me, it’s hard to practice philosophy when you don’t know yourself well enough due to this mental illness. Very philosophical my dude! 🤘🏼😁
I did an outpatient stay that focused on CBT and mindfulness. It made such a difference in how I behave. I highly recommend it as well. It has a lot to do with exactly what you stated in the beginning of this video "Awareness".
I’m really glad I found these videos. You have made more sense and are more informative than any psych Dr.. I feel totally helpless at this point. Bipolar, constant insomnia, misophonia and the movement (?) phobia. So, my fight or flight feels constant and overwhelming.
Wow when I listen to you I feel like someone really understands you have more insight and knowledge than any dr I’ve spoken too also you wouldn’t believe how many loved ones I hurt and said a hundred sorrys
This is probably up there with the most important topics to discuss it has very serious outcomes and repercussions. It was the reason why I went and saw a doctor and eventually it ended up leading me to my diagnosis of bipolar type 1 I couldn't stand seeing my loved ones hurt and scared of what I would do when I was in a rage.
This is a brilliant vid and you are a very knowledgable guy - thanks for this - I am working to combat my rage but I very often get blindsighted by emotion as you pointed out and will just keep getting angrier and angrier until i punch my desk and shout like I am on a battle field
Also you are becoming one of my best friends that finally understands and can really help me learn how to live with this nobody has ever given me this advice on how to live with bipolar disorder not even drs
5 minutes into video and I need to comment already.I have watched loads of videos on Bipolar,depression and so on and I am more positive now than ever before I have Bipolar.I had a doctor do a "test" once years ago after a run in with the law and he said I am pretty sure you have Bipolar. I was medicated and it worked a treat but I had to stop the meds as I was suddenly made a single parent and the meds made me too drowsy at the time. Years have passed with many problems so I asked doctor.....a different one to before....and she says "Oh you need to be diagnosed by a specialist now before we can give you those meds again"..ok there goes that idea as I cannot get a specialist appointment here.Sorry for my rant but I needed to vent. That rage you mention is so very strong and as you say it's also very embarrassing to me and those around me...Sorry
pinay addiction General practitioners can give you a diagnosis also. Check out my video about bipolar diagnosis, The one I did that talks about reasons why people quit taking medication, and the top 10 signs of bipolar disorder. Make a list so you are prepared and the doctor can see it very clearly in black-and-white. You’ve got this! A very warm welcome to the channel. Stop by anytime :-)
pinay addiction I get it. I have been off meds for months because my previous provider, a psych med management clinic, made it very difficult to make an appointment. They refused to communicate. I can’t find another provider. Even the behavioral physician at my therapist’s office refused to take me as a patient because I have multiple diagnosis. The one therapist that my ob-gyn recommended doesn’t take insurance.
I’m so sorry you all are running into these problems. I was lucky enough to find a psychiatrist that took my insurance and believed I’m bi polar. I would be in your boat if not, and I would be frustrated and pissed off as well! Well wishes going out to you guys in your journey!
I don't know if I've got some kind of Polar, but I do know I'm 37yrs of age, I've lost people close to me cause of my actions recently just started watching and it's so helping thank you,
you make the most informative videos. honestly i relate so much unfortunately im not even sure if this is what im dealing with because the psychiatrist that i saw didnt even try to understand a thing i was saying and after my therapist put bipolar in her notes, i got the blame for it and ever since ive been a complete wreck on no meds, nothing. i dont think ill be alive within the next few years because i have nothing but thank you for your videos they are so professional and well put together.
Makaelee_Anne I am so glad that you found my channel and you are very welcome here. You are absolutely not alone with the way you feel. I would strongly suggest finding a different therapist. From what you described, it sounds like they are definitely not qualified to treat someone who has bipolar. I have seen a lot of crappy doctors and my time, before I found a very precious few who truly got it. Don’t quit… This illness takes so much from us, and you can’t let it take the ultimate thing we have, which is our life. Don’t let it win! 😊🤗 -Robert www.patreon.com/PolarWarriors
I never even recognized my aggressively angry behavior until a year ago and I've been looking for some advice on tools and coping skills to manage it. Thank you soooo much for this video I now have some relief and hope in tackling this symptom.
i didnt think i was bi polar until i watched this video. i came here for advice on my anger. my brother and sister were both diagnosed bi polar. im almost certain my eldest sister is, just undiagnosed. but i never once thought i could be too, until this video. i have anger issues. and almost every line of this video described me to a tee. i was angry with my partner when i opened this video, now im sitting alone with my jaw dropped. im stunned. thank you for this. seriously, thank you
