Seems remarkable, but I don't remember a specific thread on irritability. It's certainly been a cardinal symptom for me, and one that I use as a marker to alert me when things are getting worse; for me it marks the boundary of a vortex (or vicious circle) which is incredibly difficult to get out of, and the first thing to realise is to identify that it is being driven by a physical cause - in my case, primarily, disturbed, unrefreshing or ineffective sleep, as well as other stress triggers (environment, food etc). I think it's important to identify the irritability as a biochemical consequence, and during better times, try to explain this in an apologetic way to your most promising allies.
Irritability is inevitably something that drives people away from us. So we are all aware of it and sympathetic to that here. It's quite a timely topic actually...
