Bipolar Disorder Support Group
Bipolar disorder is not just a single disorder, but a category of mood disorders marked by periods of abnormally high energy and euphoria, often accompanied by bouts of clinical depression. This is the place to talk about your experience with bipolar disorder, learn from others' experiences, and find support.
My pdoc kinda told me I need to figure out what my triggers are and it seems other people's anger is one. My housemate stormed in just now, went to the kitchen for a knife and locked herself in her room, crying. She's fine but I'm shaken, jumpy, nervous... I feel like a little girl again listening to my mom and stepdad tear each other apart. I hate feeling like that. Hate it, hate it, hate it. I can literally feel myself fold inward and just shut down- my survival technique. 'shut down and shut out'. Been trying these sleep hygiene stuff to deal with my insomnia and they've been working but I know this is gonna screw it all up.

One good reason for knowing your triggers is that meds can help. Be sure to talk to your Pdoc about them and adjustments or additions can be made to help you survive - recognize and avoid.
I have found to always be aware triggers can change too and knowing is half the battle
Huggs breathe and relax :)
I see you're very young but knives, storming in and locked doors would be something you might want to give some thought to... There's a lot to be said for peace... Big hug for you...xo
