Obsessive/Compulsive Behavior
 

I am going through a bout of OCD really bad. Don't know if any of you don't get this way, or this is just the bipolar and I need to let it go.

I am sorry...
 

this is manic behavior as well as OCD.
Over the top, impulsive, new projects, not being able to let things go...
these are manicy behaviors am afraid I know cause I do them too.

Hi,
I'm thinking along the same lines as Bizi.
This sounds like heightened energy and maybe some anxiety.
Do you think it is part of a mania?

Owww. Sorry about the stress fracture. Is there another kind of exercise you can practice for a while that takes the stress off the legs?
Swimming? Chair aerobics?
Yeah, I know that these don't have the same satisfaction that running has. My brain is dull.

I used to have OCD as to the part of cleaning cleaning and cleaning.

I don't know now why I don't feel like doing a damn thing, well I think it is the pain factor and depression.

Then will come a day that I go nuts on cleaning. I can't figure it out.

I don't think any of my meds have anything to do with it.

I think as you get older you just say *&%$ it. To me everything is an effort right now, I hate myself for it.

Thanks
 

I really never considered it mania because, I think of my mania in irrational thinking, on such an extreme level. Maybe this is what they would call hypomania? I don't know, I am trying to chill out and do pilates and stop cleaning.

hey buddy,
good for you with the pilates...that is so hard for me...I really can't do that.
I think there are different levels of mania too,
we can be manic and not psychotic too.
been there done that too.

I think I am in some hypomania, coffee alot..I am slowing down some.

I can't drink coffee at all when I am hypomanic...it puts me over the edge...and I like drinking coffee alot...
so have switched to herbal tea and decaf.

Coffee
 

Coffee and cigarettes are like a staple for me since I quit drinking.

about 4 years ago my last pdoc put me on prozac for my compulsive skin picking...
you have heard the story....2 cars in 3 weeks....
hello mania!

You used to exercise alot before right?

For me, I started having small injuries around the house...
I think getting injured or sick/cold is our bodies way telling us to slow down...
usually everytime I start a new exercise program or join a gym I get injured from overdoing it.
There seems to be no moderation.....
Change is hard
