So, I thought the whole idea with bipolar disorder was that our mood changes for no reason. So can someone explain how there are triggers?
I ask because I have had many times where I have reacted to situations, but in an extreme way. For example, I recently found out I got a job doing work-study at my school. I was really happy, but it felt like climbing into hypomania, not like normal excitement. In addition, there are many times where I think about my ex girlfriend and it leads me to depressive episodes.
Are these triggers? Or are these things just normal?
