Why do we need a "trigger"? Can't episodes just naturally occur?

I am always asked "what may have triggered you?" Do we even need a trigger? When I am asked what may have "triggered" me I say Bipolar did. Thoughts

I've been asked often. Not even just in relation to BP2 but also my anxiety or me randomly bursting into tears... You think if I knew the triggers I wouldn't try to avoid them? "But it must be something" oh apologies, let me ask my existence what's bothering it today. There isn't always a trigger and drove nuts for years until I found a therapist that admitted it. She also mentioned part of chronic depression and anxiety is the irrationality of it. Of course sometimes I feel like flooding my room at random. No I don't always need a reason. And believing that there always is a trigger or a reason can lead down a bad road of thinking everything will be fine if you avoid those things... And it's not that easy.
