Yeah, man..chill-out on yourself. Like everyone said so far, you've done the hardest bit - you've IDENTIFIED a problem about yourself which you do not like. You should be proud, dude!
Not many people have that luxury or wisdom.

All that a counsellor will do, is what you've managed to do by yourself, and that's indentify the problem. But, if you think that it will help you to address your new found knowledge, then go ahead and see them - the choice is yours dude, and yours alone

I am a manic depressive too, and it's as confusing as fuck. Like, you're blissfully happy one minute, then, for no reason at all, you suddenly plunge into a pit of utter dispair and even anger - usually this anger comes from the confusion of why you've gone from happy to sad for no real reason.

I've read a few of your posts throughout this board, some have been a bit 'aggressive' ( ), but most have shown you to be someone with a decent point of view and intelligence. That's normal, when you suffer from this affliction the battle that rages within you becomes almost too much to bear, and it is hard to express yourself in the manner that you mean - I know, I get it too

Quit the thieving, it'll get you into more trouble than you deserve - you're worth more than that, dude - so give it a try.
For me, I find that smokin the herb helps me to look at my life with a certain amount of detatchment, which in turn allows me to focus my energies in a constructive way - like, rather than blow-up in the faces of those that seek to make my life shit, I can sit back, toke a little, and remain calm....if that's what it takes for you to do the same, then that's cool.

Sometimes, though, the herb can work the other way (with some people), and just adds to the confusion thats going on in your head.

You'll have to find out what it does for you, and adjust your habit accordingly.

Don't worry about blabbing on about your problems on here, dude, that's what all of us are here for - to help each other, right? - we all know how tough life is, and it helps to let it all out and get it off your chest.
So, anytime you feel that it's getting too much to bear - just blab blab blab, init!

I hope you sort it out dude, I think I speak for all of us who care when I say that we are here for you when it all goes dark

Keep it real, dude,
