Do you have triggers when pp say something to you OTHER then "have you taken your meds". I was at a girlfriends house and she said something that sent me reeling I couldnt get out of her house fast. enough.
It wasnt anything mean or anything I doubt others would take offense at but to me it was just awful and I have started to go
down. I cleaned my trunk out, went grocery shopping took 2 klonopin (which has done nothing I need something like the 1950's thorzine (sp) :)and am just trying to not go down bec I have been normal for 3 weeks. what triggers do you have? If you care to share?

My mom has told me on numerous occasions that I take things totally the wrong way.
I'm not sure if this is a bp trait, (if there are such things) or just me being me.
The second - when i am telling the truth and a person refuses to believe me.
What follows is me shreiking at the top of my lungs, throwing whatever is in my hands across the room, I can hear what is going on but can't see anything. I litterally have some sort of quazi black out.
