The reasons behind/triggers for mood are very often apparently 'irrational,' it's human nature. (Of course figuring out the why is what therapy can often help with). I would try to follow the chain of events from the cause to the mood. Bipolar or not, some moods are always going to be situational, life is always throwing stuff at you (people/us) and of course it's going to affect how we feel. I think accepting that sometimes how you feel does have a reason behind it (however irrational it may seem, at least at first) helps to give us agency. If there's no reason, if it always comes out of nowhere, I think it's harder to feel empowered to be able to understand it (and ourselves) and cope with it.
