I find for me that when I am already excited about something it just escalates. I also find that when I have been depressed for a long time and there is a straw that breaks the camel's back, sometimes I get manic. Caffeine also does this (Once right after I was diagnosed I drank 3 mountain dews and went crazy...note to self, never do that again) Anyway, sleep triggers both mania and depression for me. too much sleep =depression. too little sleep=mania.
I feel like right now im mixed mania -depression - more on the mania side. But to me what i think what trigger mine it seems always around my birthday which is today 9.29.07 - I always think - where is my life going ? what I have done with myself? what have I accomplished? I still rent - no house, no kids - no I'm not gay - for some that would automatically would judge me.
who is to say my mental is to blame? hell if I know. But I dont want to use it as an scapegoat all of the time either.
my tdoc says there are no "triggers" to episodes or the disorder itself. i've read information on the **** site that says that triggers exist. i don't get it. what do you guys think?
