OCD and bipolar help? plz? (only ppl with bp and ocd)?!
Question: do u ever feel that any change even a slight one that u wanna make must be known to every person u know ? ,its like if ur happy and people knew you were sad last night u must tell them ur happy now or else they will get u wrong and think your always sad ? . i just cant stop feeling the need of telling people details that they dont care about ! . and i do regret telling people things right after i leave ! i beat myself up for it thinking it wasnt good to say and thats when i try my best to justify why i said it ! even if it aint bad. sometimes i would say something to a stranger who i would never see again and i would try to explain what i said ,and if i dont find the person id get in a huge pile of depression. ppl tell me that everyone will see the change im making by themselves when they next see u,and if there r ppl who would never see u again then u do not have to justify to them or show them anything cuz they simply rnt in ur life . do u feel the same way ?

my wife is BP and has OCD. It isnt easy for her, she is clay in the hands of the day. It could turn into anything. Being around those who are flexiable and understand is what you need to surround your self with. She has been ill for nearly 15 years. She is jsut NOW getting proper help. Hang in there, talk with people who have been there, talk with me, I am living proof. (i really am a decent guy)....you just shouldnt do it alone is all I'm saying. I'll be thinking of you and praying that you feel more like yourself. Smile a little more, that helps too
if i were you i would go to the doctor, it seems like you have bipolar disorder
i have this annoying problem of needing to tell everyone about my problems or my happiness. like if i buy a new car... i feel the need to LET EVERYONE KNOw. but if i get deneid SSD i still feel the n eed to let everyone know. its like if i just let it be knwn and put it out in the open. i feel everything is going to be alrright. but in the end, i feel even worse b/c i 'm blabbing my life to the whole world. it makes me feel sick afterwards. But i'm not diagnosed with bi-polar. reaed my question i just posted. I feel like i've been misdiagnosed.??!?!?!?!
I can be like that when I'm hypomanic or mixed, otherwise I let it go. Truth is that your friends are right. The ppl who know you can see the change and tell how you are doing. Those who are not in your life don't need any justification. It's just not so easy when you head's racing and you know you are a little (or a lot) off your normal self. I'm bipolar but not OCD so it makes it a little easier.
I am bipolar for almost all of my life. I'm 48 still have to tell my family and friends my feelings and update things And I still tell stranges things for the same reason you give.I call it getting things off my chest.I am now going back to tx for it.I am manic 90% of the time and severely depressed the other part up to and including trying to commit suicide.I have to talk to people or I would truly go crazy!!!I hope your friends know you are bipolar and can help when thing spiral out of controll.Peace out The Lady Rose
