Thank you.. This is really helpful. My OCD acts up and my dr has me paranoid that I am somehow manic and don't realize. I am switching doctors on Monday to hopefully someone more supportive.

I am going to request a psych consult and assessment to get to the bottom of things. And get on the right meds.

I slept 8 hours last night and then napped for 4 hours today. From what I've read, that's not something that happens when you are manic or even hypomanic? Most days I can't wait to go to sleep. I get racing thoughts but usually related to anxiety or when triggered by something.

My opinion of myself hasn't changed much but I have felt like I should not go to school this fall, but really because I think it's a bad idea to add more stress to my life until I get my mental health under control.
