Hi 123,

I am glad that you felt comfortable to share your story with us and what you have been feeling and experiencing.

There are certain diagnostic criteria that one must meet in order to meet the criteria of bipolar, as there are characteristics that one would need to meet to be diagnosed with OCD.

Sometimes, some psychiatric disorders can overlap in terms of symptoms.

So it's really not possible for anyone here to really say whether or not you could or could not be bipolar.

It would require careful consideration from your pdoc, who can take all the facts into account, including your OCD tendencies, and including careful consideration of medications that you are or aren't on.

I wish you success in discussing this with your pdoc in order for you to get some answers that you are seeking.

Take care and let us know how it goes.
