Gotta chime in before I read the rest of this thread. It stunned me when I read it yesterday, but I didn't have time to write.
I would definately say that my Anxiety (which at times becomes overwhelming to the point of appearing frozen) can trigger depression. Often the anxiety causes events that cause existential trauma, hopelessness and then depression. Often my hypomania happens as a reation to the depression, me trying to pull myself up and out. (BTW I am bipolar, diagnosed since high school.)
