The checking--is that mania or ocd?? I only ask as I have ocd and possibly bipolar. I check a lot as part of my ocd. Anyway, I can't concentrate and am so tired but can't sleep either. I find meds the only helpful thing. Mood stabilizers and Seroquel do it for me. No they don't eradicate the problem, but they do ease it. Good luck and hope you feel better soon. Get some sleep!!!!
