It's very significant to be self aware when you have a mental illness.. because they can be so unpredictable. In turn make your thoughts and actions twist and turn. With Bipolar it is not talked about enough I feel. It
should be recognised for not only the down parts of this mental illness but also the awesome parts too. It doesn't always have to be down with Bipolar. There are quite a few good times that happen during a high, I assure you but also things that make you appreciate yourself even more. With that said, I'm going to list down a few potential things that could trigger people with Bipolar.
Triggers:
•Social media
•Friends, even family or a partner
•Late nights'
•Not expressing your emotions
•Constant negative thoughts that can be controlled

I hope this helped.
