hi. i get somewhat similar thoughts. i have 'obsessive traits,' not full on ocd. not to frighten you, but neuroleptics/antipsychotics, at sufficient doses, can sometimes exacerbate existing ocd stuff and there have been case reports of drug-induced ocd...I think it has something to do with messing too much with frontal lobe function (?).
anyway...
when there's a disorder with a strong psychotic component on board, obviously...no one wants a full on breakdown. has your psychiatrist ever offered some sort of treatment for the obsessive stuff, an ssri or something? with the mood issues...do your problems get worse on the up or down swing? ive only had a couple bona fide upper end episodes, but they were rough. psychotic depression is sort of my default position, lol...so, the treatment for my mood issues focuses on elevating mood, and now i have fewer psychosis-type problems.
not to scare you, but klonopin can make depression worse. or cause it. ive experienced some lovely k-pin induced depression, and...yeah. sad times. is your klonopin a daily thing or as needed? back when i had a psychiatrist who would give me mother's little helpers (cue nostalgia music), i found as-needed ativan was better for me than klonopin...less depression.
if (hypo)mania is often a contributing factor to your psychotic stuff, then talk to your psychiatrist about it, by all means. therapists can be helpful, but personally...even indepth therapy bounced right off of me until i got on 2 Rx drugs and Orthomolecular for a while, plus addressing social factors. obviously, that's me, not you.
i hope things get better for you. :-)
