My OCD spiked a couple months ago and now that I'm looking back, I think I was having a manic/mixed episode too. I didn't sleep at all, and the pictures kept coming and coming and my head just wouldn't stop but I felt like ****. I had 6-7 panic attacks, my head hurt from the constant pounding of the thoughts (plus my compulsion had to do with breathing at the time) I'm not sure but I'm on Zoloft and I read that SSRI's cause mania, I've been on it for about 2 months now and nada. I mean I've had a week or so that I felt amazing, but nothing like I did a few months back. I'm confused, I've don't a ****-ton of research, but I'm wondering if I really am just painting it. Another thing that makes me suspect mania is that the thoughts were different, I had my normal ones that I thought that bad things would happen to me like nukes or solar flares, but I FELT the "world" move, and I thought that the sun was in love with me; I've never remembered having thoughts like that before and I heard psychosis was a symptom of mania, please help.
