If trigger disappeared, would........

Hey Yall.

Was wondering-if the thing that sparked my current mixed epi disappeared and was no longer in my thoughts, would the episode self-right itself or......? Thanks for the info ahead of time. Have a good evening.

Thanks Ev. That would be great. Now all I have to do is figure out how to run my father off without him knowing I am doing so.

Mighty big word, IF. How can we be sure that what we think is a trigger is actually THE trigger? And I suspect that if one trigger is gone there's another ready to take its place. That's the old "It's always something" reality. It's interesting to think about but doesn't really define anything.

Trigger....isn't he buried with Roy Rogers.

I disagree, once the symptoms appear, even if the alleged trigger disappears the episode might not remit.............. just my opinion...

i wonder how may triggers it takes till a "normie" explodes??? i mean, i've gone through an awful lot of triggers in my life!
i think the bp was always there, but i can't imagine any normal person would have lasted any longer than me.

as a matter of fact a "normie" probably would have lost it much sooner...or know to go for help of some sort.

For me a mixed episode almost always rights itself (if it is bio-chemical) within a few days, if I get proper sleep. Otherwise, if I can identify the trigger, just knowing what the trigger was seems to help. I hate mixed episodes, by the way. Praying you are getting better...

In my experience the episode takes a while to right itself.

If the trigger is removed you might feel relief ect. therefore you would feel better but the underlying chemical episode would still be there.

Agree with SuzeQ2.

Thanks U Guyz. I am still fairly new to the BP thing I got going in my head and my heart and it helps to be able to come to someone for clarification of my own thoughts lol. A special thanks to Lux and SuzeQ. All have an awesome or at least a tolerable day.
