what are some of your triggers

My boyfriend seems to sometimes trigger mania. Otherwise, I see no pattern. I am no help. Sorry.

What does he do to trigger your mania

Stress and any major change are the main things. Losing someone causes depression and going on vacation always makes me hypo.

...eating certain foods, especially really "bready" type foods, like pizza or donuts, and stuff (then I deal with the stress by stuffing myself more)
......also, when I don't drink much water, and I get myself dehydrated
......people trying to get me to commit to doing some social event with them, thinking they're doing me this big favor--especially when they're driving and I'm too far away from home to feasibly just leave when I need to.......

Stress, sudden and unexpected turn in events and the helplessness that comes with it.

I've come to realize another trigger, hormones. Trying to deal with the moods of BP and being menopausal has become a challenge

Yep, stress. And lack of sleep.

Stress of course.

Also, sleeping too much or too little can send me into an episode.

Another trigger....saying yes to something when in mania and then feeling thr stresses of these commitments are you start coming down again.

For me: when my husband tries to approach me as I am running late. Running late in general, stupid questions, managers who do not give me credit I deserve, teachers who do not give me credit I deserve, little sleep, loud commercials, loud music, any music I do not like that is loud, people who are mean, rude remarks, when my husband decides to sleep instead of communicate with me, when my husband decides to sleep instead of living life with me, dirty dishes, constantly being the only one to do any house chores, when toothpaste is on the mirror just after I cleaned it, when old boxes are around, when I am forced to eat something I do not want to, being under time constraints, working at a job that is meaningless, people who want attention but don't deserve it, car horns, when the t.v. is too loud, when the radio sucks, when I go to my husband family's house and he leaves me alone with his mom, or brother constantly and I have no conversation to make, when my family continues to make empty promises and are pathetic.

Friendships
Family arguments
Any pressure - exams etc
Stress
Social events are a MAJOR anxiety trigger
Old songs sometimes bring back bad feelings
Talking on the phone (anxiety)
Smoking
Churches (went to extremely religious elementary & middle school)
Seeing families with small children
Little kids in general

Running late
Walking into a crowded room
Pressure to preform
Being watched while I work.
Hearing strange squeaks in the car.
Mail from unknown people.
A unknown number on caller id when the phone rings.
Expectations placed on me.

Walking through the door at the end of a 12 hour shift and my wife whose been home all day with nothing really to do asks me to clear and set the table, take trash out and list of a bunch of other crap I shouldn't have to do because I was at work all day.

Bill collectors. I am so far behind on my medical bills and they call incessantly. Wish I could just pay them all off but it's hard and it's taking forever.
