I have Bipolar. The criteria did not include much about anger, per se, so in my search I found your site. I also used anger for the energy as well. I used to have the amusing thought that I was “tapping into the dark side of the Force.” I found that I would ruminate so much that it became out of control and would make me irritable all day and every day. It ruined some relationships. I would overreact to percieved slights with anger as well. For some time I thought I might have borderline. My psychiatrist ultimately did talk to me about my anger and “small” mood swings and said it was part of bipolar.
