I think I can relate.
Having more than one DX, OCD & depression (for you) OCD and bipolar (for me) could be good and bad. You (we) could be screwed either way, but if you can have one and then get better only to switch back to the other…But, at least you “got better” from something. At the same time, did you really “get better” at all or just “switch” from one bad thing to another bad thing? Either way you are suffering from distress. So does it matter what symptoms you are having? Distress is distress is distress, right?
I was having a bipolar mixed episode filled with rapid cycling and supposedly psychotic symptoms. I am not having extreme moods now and the so called “psychotic symptoms” have been turned way down in volume in my brain. But my OCD is driving me nuts now. So, have I gotten better or just switched one bad thing for another?
I have nothing brilliant or insightful to say to you. I wish I did. But thought it might be comforting to us both if I tried to relate.
Sorry you had to go through the depression. And I think it is a shame you have to be so anxious now. I hope you find peace from it all someday. I hope we all do.
