Ah.. I relate with you on the fact that we both suffer with bipolar disorder, but I was diagnosed with it way back when it was considered plain old "Manic Depression" ^_^
I don't have rage problems... but it sounds like this was just a case of over-reacting. I'm guessing, but I suppose that you and your brother were both being a bit selfish when it came to using the computer... selfish for your brother because he just wanted to play the game, and selfish for you because you didn't care that he was playing the game.. I had many many times where my brother and I fought like you fought with your brother... only not over the computer.. over the NES XD
Anyway, it sounds like your whole family needs to learn how to communicate your feelings a bit better than you do currently. Comming to fisticuffs (aka fighting physically) about things is not healthy in any relationship, and I'm sure that the added stress from your brother and father does not help your condition.
Tell me if you will.... do you take any perscription medication for your manic depression.. *ahem* I mean bipolar disorder? I find that too often the case today, throwing pills at the patient seems to be the more popular route than actually sitting down and trying to talk to the sufferer....
