Hope this helps a little

Quote From: serene

  

   I am 24 years old, and I don't know what is wrong with me. I have seen therapists, psychologists, psychiatrist, and medical doctors. I have been diagnosed with BiPolar, Manic depression, and depression. My husband seems to think that I am OCD. I am not real sure. I don't have a problem with touching things, but I am weird about cleaning. I also take things to extreme. Like If I like something I do it to the extreme. I have done this with Alcohol, cleaning, knitting, reading, you name I take it too far. Is this a sign of OCD? I don't know, but I know that on the inside I feel like I am on an emotional roller coaster. Does anyone have anything they can share. Thanks 

Have you been able to see a licensed professional psychotherapist who SPECIALIZES in OCD or BiPolar.  That's the person who could best define your diagnose, because someone who is manic DOES take things to extremes. How long have you stayed in regular therapy with one practicioner? Has any of them put you on meds? It's possible that some meds would help Bipolar, but not OCD, and vice versa (this is an educated guess, but your psychiatrist or psychologist could confirm or deny).  Hope I've  been some help, Patti
