I have come back down and do feel a lot more in control of myself. Have spoken in depth with my partner about the incident the other night. The physically pushing her out of bed was not acceptable...
I think I need to clarify! I pushed my girlfriend out of the bed with hands and feet. In no way is this acceptable but I did not punch or kick her! I didn't explain myself properly in my initial post...

Man the mood swings are doing my head in (pardon the pun). I can't work out if they are 'normal' mood swings or bipolar mood swings. People without bipolar have mood swings too right? My psychiatrist...
I was going through that a few weeks ago. I pretty much hated my partner and out 2 children....which made me hate myself. Go to the Doctor to sort out meds before you make ANY decisions.......that's...
