Husband. Erratic Moods, Anger, Frustration.
60 Answers
Although my OH has never been diagnosed, he certainly displays traits of bipolar. His Mother was the same. Diagnosed with Hypomania.
He's just been thumping computer and monitor in frustration because he couldn't do something that should have been straight forward. He's like an angry , frustrated child at times. Last couple of weeks, he's been on a high. Excited, keep laughing about things. He has so much energy when he's like that. I wasn't going to say anything but it's getting me down. I suppose I should ring doctor but doubt they will do anything much. They will probably say he needs to go and seem them. I know he won't do that..Just needed to get this off my chest.

Speak to his GP in any case.

How terribly stressful and upsetting for you Patsy. I couldn't live like that. You must walk on eggshells, waiting for the next instance.
There is treatment available if the condition is as you suspect. If he really, really won't seek medical assistance there may be some difficult decisions ahead for you.

Patsy, I found this which you might find helpful. It says that if the person you are concerned about won't seek help, write to their GP in the first instance.

Lockdown must be exacerbating the situation, Patsy. I suggest when things are back to normal that if he is behaving in a way that makes you anxious or uncomfortable - go out, visit a friend or relative or just go for a walk.
If you have a friend or relative you could stay with for a night or two, all the better.
