Hi pacman!

I only have bipolar 1 however I know a friend who has OCD and I have seen good and bad times with her. She also has a seizure disorder which means shes highly medicated but refuses to treat her OCD with medication. She treats her OCD with crystals and oils. She just started seeing a therapist for exposure therapy since her OCD is causing her to outright avoid things.

However I digress. What I am wanted to say is that unfortunately alot of the mainline treatments for OCD are SSRIS and other anitdepressants. For someone that is bipolar, SSRIs and other antidepressants are more likely to make us maniac which is what you've gone through. I am hoping that your therapist gives you alot of useful tools and that you begin to feel better!

Praying for you
