Swimming day two! Followed by dinner with a friend. Now I am sleepy. Emotions and thoughts are weird today, but at least I was healthy about it and exercised.

My therapist mentioned a couple of times that there is some evidence bipolar might be caused by trauma and is a way to protect ourselves and is trying to explore that with me. Has anyone else heard this? I don't have any major traumas, but it's probably true some things about my childhood affected me negatively, whatever you want to call it. Wish I had worked through this 15 years ago when last in therapy, but I hope it is helpful to work on now.
