One of my triggers is large crowds. I feel like
I can barely breath. I want to run but am confused as to which direction to go.

Another trigger is being over stimulated. Too much loud chatter in a room full of people would piss me off so bad. I would storm out
the room seeking silence.

What are your triggers and reactions to them ?

Oh yes large crowds for me too i feel like everyones taking my air and in my space and i cant breathe.
Also being around crowds of friends. You can just see me climb to a high when theres a lot going on or in loud conversations w many friends i tend to talk loud and laugh hard and loud.
Stress is a main trigger though. It is what has caused all 3 of my hospitalizations. Once my life feels out of my control with stress before i know it, its two months, thousands of dollars,a few broken hearts and a lot of embarrassing and at this point some obviously impulsive decissions later .... i usually have little memory from my manic states. The stress leads to not eating or sleeping and then before i know it im entertaining ideas and notions that arent real and build and build and kaboom! Shes off!

My biggest trigger is rudeness. I get very upset. I don't know how to respond to rudeness, because I am very polite. Rudeness shocks me and I become angry and depressed. Too often when I experience that, I will fire off an email that I later regret. For year and years, I have tried not to instantly react. But it happens so rarely that so far, all my best laid plans fail. Well, at least I think I don't make angry phone calls anymore! So that's progress.

My big ones are stress, not knowing what to expect, conflict, small spaces with a lot of people, pain. I had a full blown panic attack over a migraine last week.
