We're moving and we have to fix up the house we're moving to. The deadline is June 2nd to be out of this apartment so we've been working very very long days, like 12-14 hour days at the new house. My daughter is bipolar, has been fairly stable for a few years now. Under great stress she isnt so stable anymore.
So the other night i asked her to do the dishwasher, just unload it which is her regular chore anyway, jsut before she went to bed. She started yelling at me and wouldnt do it. I was stressed and upset too so i went to my room to cool off before i did something id regret. She comes down here banging on the door and got it unlocked and got in my face again. So hubby pulled her away and gave me a few mins to calm myself down. She went off on him. He was trying not to hurt her so didnt use much force and i ended up having to come back out of the room. Took both of us to hold her down till she stopped raging, saying she hated us, etc. Then she layed there crying saying sorry. Hubby ended up with 5 or 6 good huge bite marks and his man parts were hurting for a few days. I have scratch marks and huge chunks of skin missing where she used her finger nails on me.
Last time we had a meltdown this big, her pdoc had just died and she was worried we would have to go to someone who wouldnt give her the meds that have kept her fairly stable for awhile. She lacking sleep and a regular schedule right now, along with the stress of moving and other issue right now. I think she's done well so far but boy are we all sore still. She almost lost it last night again but my FIL got her to take a med and calm down. Im letting her sleep in this morning hoping it will help.
She's getting to the age where she starts to hate her illness and herself and can see and understand how it affects others. So on top of it all i have to watch for another suicide attempt because she's upset at herself and her illness.

I feel for you. Been there with both of my kids. Christal has bitten and clawed us all at some point, but she usually does not express regret. Sammy has also done this, and cries frequently just before getting to that point because he says he feels the rage coming and can't stop it. Knowing its coming sucks. Sorry.0

I am sorry, I also have a daughter who loses control but usually takes it out on herself most recent behaviors include cutting and feeling suicidal. Takes great deal of empathy and strong parents to deal with this all. You are in my prayers...0
