Do you find yourself choosing or rejecting something based on its association with a particularly strong mood state? Example: Grabbing a shirt in the morning and stopping short, realizing that that was the shirt you were wearing on a recent strongly sui day, thinking.... hmmm, better not. Then choosing another. Because you really need to have a good day, and don't want to chance it.
This could take all kinds of different forms (a route to travel, a place, a food, an action outside of routine that you did or didn't do that particular day...) Or it might be driven by the opposite, where you view something as "lucky" because of its association.
It's certainly not a "bipolar thing", but, just curious...Is this something you find yourself doing??
(Incidentally, I don't pay mind to the "standard" superstitions, though I do heed certain routines/avoidances from my OCD.)

definitely IZ...
I am very afraid to interrupt my routines for fear that I immediately won't recognise what follows and collapse in a heap!
I have hundreds of clothes but I only wear about 3
I curiously don't trust the human who might occupy those 97
I drive very fussy and stick to my patterns
I believe that james driving a different street will collide inexplicably with something someone
a mess in my apartment will most certainly bring about my total destruction
it's a limited living system and I know it's my OCD too
superstition suggests imminent pain
I don't know who put the "super" in it...?
'stition' is fine by me
but I make it super by trusting it will exceed sneakiness and meet me in places I am not prepared for
I think it's just habits?
and personal habits are ok they help us organise in this massive expanse of life
