It's the time of year for me where I hit hypomania. Last year, it was fairly well managed by medications, but I just had a child and went off my meds (after speaking with my care team) for the pregnancy. My next appointment (and the earliest I'll be able to get back to starting to titrate up on meds) isn't until the end of the month, meaning it'll be at least six weeks after that before it's back to a point where it's helping my symptoms.

I'd forgotten how angry I get in this state of mind. I go from mildly annoyed to completely enraged in like five seconds. Luckily I have the clarity of mind to know that these feelings aren't based in reason and that they will pass.

These feelings haven't manifested towards my child, but the last few days my dog, cat, and partner have been on the receiving end of a lot of anger, mean comments, and some yelling (at the pets when they just won't stop). I feel so guilty about it, but I don't remember how I used to manage these feelings before I found medication that worked.

I don't know if I'm looking for any tips yall have to try and manage it or if I just want to feel like I'm not alone in feeling like this or if I just wanted to vent somewhere.
