Do bipolar people sometimes have Obsessive Compulsive thoughts?!
Question: Do bipolar people sometimes have Obsessive Compulsive thoughts!?
When I 'm hypomanic, I have thoughts like this!.
-"You have to get from here to there in 15 seconds within 32 steps!. No more or less!."
-"When the clock hand gets there, you do this, when it gets there, do this, and it has to be before 3 pm!."
-"I didn't close the door right!. Close it again!. It wasn't right then, either, close it again, close it 4 times now because you just did it 2 times, and you have to multiply it by that number, but don't multiply odds!.Open, close, open, close, open close, etc!."
Little things bother me!. I re-arrange my friends lunch plates at school because they don't look right to me!.!. If a coat hanger is the wrong way, I have to fix it, and stuff like that!. I'm 14, and this only happens when I get hypomanic!. Is that normal!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

yep!. mine deals with having to wash my hands, straighten up everything that is messed up like cleaning my room,kitchen,living room!.!.what i really can't stand is when somethings on my glasses or the windshield of my car!. plus at school my teachers can just tell when i'm turning manic when i start to clean things or when somethings wrong with something i shouldn't worry about!.!.!.it doesn't help i have ADHD either!.
are you on medication for this!? because if you're having these
frequent episodes!.!.then it'll only get worse and end up like me--somebody who waited and ruined 9th grade year because the mania got worse and turned into full blown episodes!. but thankfully, my lamictal i've been taking for two years now stabilized me!.last episode was very small in september that i actually controlled!. so once you get older, you know how to control BP more!.
just talk to your parents about going to a psych!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
