It would be counter intuitive...I'd have guessed that any personal loss would trigger a depression...I have had a manic episode that was preceded by a loss and consequent stress, it triggered a pretty bad manic episode (back then I was a heavy coffee drinker and also used alcohol..)
I realize that triggers can be both physical and psychological..

I've experience loss of bad things that happened that invoked a mixed mood, a like out of control pissed of manic, depressed state.
With that said, I laughed at being handcuffed and smiled through funerals, and cried through birthdays. So, as I've dscovered, moods can be triggered or automatically coincidental. As an ultra rapid cycler, I'd have mood changes right at the moment of a stressful event whch I often wondered what REALLY caused the mood change to begin with. |

A horrible trauma sent me manic.

Sometimes I wonder if mania/hypomania is actually a sort of defense mechanism against certain stressors that can actually bring you to too low of a point.
