I'm coming into six months of a BP diagnosis and have found myself gravitating away from my "old" self and trying to develop a new me, away from the significantly intense person I used to be.

In doing so, I try to find some humor in my diagnosis. I try not to offend anyone but I do find some light moments here and there to help me cope with things that used to set me off.

Today, I was in the car with my wife and daughter and discovered a new trigger - Justin Bieber. I'm more of a rock and roller and an intermediate guitarist who likes all sorts of stuff (rock, alternative, funk) but not pop music, especially today's pop because it focuses too much on sex and image. I used to battle with my daughter about the radio all the time but now I sort of let it go.

Anyway, today a song came on and I asked my daughter who it was. She mumbled "Justin Bieber", thinking I'd make her change the station. But I said "no, let's hear the whole song" because I'd never really heard any song by him before. It was, by far and away, the WORST song I've ever heard. I said to my wife "this will be a trigger going forward" and she burst out laughing. My daughter doesn't really know I'm BP so she just laughed too.

Does anyone have any humorous triggers? Again, I'm not trying to be improper, just opening up this glorious Saturday with something fun if anyone wants to add. And, BTW, rock on!
