I think it's normal for you to feel this way; these are the symptoms around your period in normal people. They might be more exaggerated because of your bipolar.

I have that problem off and on. When hormones get the best of me, I'll get super irritated over the stupiest shit and say things that I don't mean. And sometimes I'll cry super easily when I tend to not be an overly emotional person. I also crave fried foods and chocolate/cake.
