I experience highs and lows of bipolar disorder but have not been diagnosed as such because my doctors think it is related to something else.

Is anyone here also diagnosed with OCD? I have an odd form of OCD in which I seek reassurance from others (IRL) as a compulsion. This kind of makes me cling to those people that are the most reinforcing (It usually is a person in a position of authority for some reason). Of course, this has caused me to cling to my T. NOW I'm going to have to deal with the compulsions on my own in order to get rid of them. Anyone out there like me? Thanks.
