I wish I had episodes that were caused.


Then I would avoid being bipolar altogether.


I understand that there certainly are triggers to certain mind states, but I honestly doubt that its the cause, my theory is that it fuels the inevitable... Bipolar is random by nature. Even the stupid DSM states there's no rhyme or reason for our episodes...


We're allergic to stress though, that's for damn sure. Just a pity that stress is so subjective, and nearly impossible to avoid.


Let the record show that I'm not saying triggers don't exist. I'm not trying to invalidate anyone's experience with this post.

Even I have triggers, just not for BP (unless you count prolonged periods of stress or severe distress, but that's a whole different topic) its just that my personal triggers affect my BPD mood fluctuations and backwards thought processes, not my BP.


Seriously, I would prefer to have identifiable triggers, I would be less bipolar if they were part of this stupid puzzle that is my mind.
