Ok I need some enlightenment. My bipolar has been progressing for years, but just in the last 3 years or so anxiety has been crippling my judgement and actions. Lost a couple of jobs. Soooooo...I guess my question is, is OCD a problem too? I have to wash my hands 30-40 times a day. Soemtimes I concentrate on my hands being dirty and forget what I'm doing and I get angry with snap when just the simplest things are not right, like: groceries on the floor, certain clothes dried, socks folded.....well maybe I just answered my question..hhuummm. Ok, I'm not on meds. Make me a zombie, have no time or can afford a T. But the anxiety comes on so quick; my heartrate goes out the roof, my brain is fogged and then I react and regret it later. Guess I just need some insight or maybe an over the counter med that can knock the edge off.
