this is kind of funny to me because i have bipolar disorder and have always been searching for another diagnosis dont get me wrong i 100 most definitely have bipolar 1 disorder but i always wondered if there was more going on i am currently in a manic state and two days ago i was diagnosied with ocd as well and now i am satisfied cause the ocd diagnosis was the missing puzzle piece and now i think i may be able to get better and back to working after intensive therapy of course but yeah its like maybe finally i can understand myself and why i am plagued with obsessive thoughts the conpulsions were a complete surprise to me as i did not recognize them as such but now oh god now i am noticing all day long all the compulsions i have i have been sick with bipolar all my life and ocd too but never knew it the compulsions that are typical of ocd have only become obvious since i had kids and have been constantly triggered by their messes and the noises they make how accident prone they are   annnnd i re read that paragraph like 25 times so i guess i can safely hit post but yeah ill probably read it once more find an error then obsess all day about it i had no idea that was an ocd thing i have blown 2 hours at work several times just perfecting an email to my colleagues that had norhing serious or conflicting in it but i was still so worried i may have worded it wrong so id obsess the rest of the day reading it again and again and again i thought that was a bipolar thing but i thought all my ocd behavior was a bipolar thing
