Good point, John. Depending on how nuts I was at the time, I could sometimes keep myself from inflicting my anger on other people (not always, though). But it was absolutely beyond my ability to stop the overwhelming, absurdly disproportionate rage from filling me up in the first place...that is, until I realized it was part of my illness and found meds to help.
So to tell an angry, manic person how to be calm and rational...
well, I think it's like telling a cancer patient to heal herself by eating right, exercising, and hanging out with supportive people (all great and important), but probably not all that helpful without medically or surgically attacking the disease process itself. At least that's been my experience.
