I have bipolar 1, severe anxiety, ocd, panic disorder. These were always my basic diagnosis’s I’ve had.

I’ve always been anxious 24/7, only comfortable where I’ve been before, not good at verbally communicating, can’t look people in the eye, I can’t do anything without my mom and I’m hypersensitive.

I recently got the description of hypersensitive from a doctor, I never knew what it was called before. Which is sensory overload and I wear headphones when I go out and sometimes inside.

I used to think that was all part of my bipolar I guess. But I recently had to do an IOP and I met some people who have bipolar and autism.

What they say sounds like me but I’ve never known anything about it and was never diagnosed at an early age. Just the highest anxiety and antisocial kid who won’t talk (but can somewhat)

I’m just wondering if this is a thing? Or all part of my bipolar? Wanted to bring it up. Thanks
