I don't seem to fit the diagnosis of OCD, as although, I have a number of the criteria, essentially their impact on my life is not at the point that it fits. Then again it's probably out shined by the symptoms of my BP and Trauma stuff. I do wonder if these types of thoughts are common in bipolar but maybe in type 1 more than type 2. Just a random thought.
Yes. Compulsive behaviors are like gambling, drinking, drugging, gaming, smoking....of which I all have. The quirks of like knocking knuckles on every object they told me it was anxiety related.

Of course with bipolar you have hypersexuality, uncontrolled spending sprees, grandiosity...but I'm talking about the smaller other obsessions.
