> ScottScott, it is only really "bad" when it becomes dysphoric, mixed, combined with hostility. I'd say that only about half the highs I have are "good" highs, and sometimes I can suddenly flip from being in a bubbly everything is wonderful state to an agitated hostile phase where I get very mean with people who don't deserve it and don't understand it. My Dad (who was bipolar) used to argue with me NONSTOP at times and we would get into fights. He couldn't control his impulsive speech, etc. and I punched him once and he chased me around the farm with a shotgun-don't need that chaos......
