The term triggers is new to me.
I've been really struggling lately and i cant shake the thought that certain external things have been sending me into the dark place. Not like making me depressed, but i mean sending me from either a hypomanic or somewhat normal state to very quickly into the dark place.
Up until now i assumed my mood would tank first then i would feel like everything was a "trigger". But now i'm wondering if that's the other way around.
Can triggers trigger depressive episodes, hypomanic episodes, mixed, or all of the above?
Application is BP2 for me.

thoughts?
thanks
