This is my opinion only, but I think your composition teacher was way out of line saying what he did. You are not that other student, and that composition teacher is not qualified to decide what is and isn't a trigger for any of his students. Period! Does he also have a masters or doctoral degree in clinical psychology or is he a psychiatrist?

It's kind of funny that it's exactly the way I was thinking about my illness about four years ago, since I had no idea what's going on and why it is happening to me. I thought that it's because of the music. I was hypomanic at first and wrote a lot of philosophical texts about music and about a parallel universe which contains it… Then depression came and I was convinced that it was a punishment for doing all of it. I believed that I wasn't allowed to tell people what I see and that I was turning crazy because I feel the music too much. What my composition teacher told me really reminded me of these good old times…
He also told me that he thought that I'll end up this way. That's nice. Couldn't he tell me sooner?
