I am no doctor but I have been diagnosed by one. I have read all your posts and you all bring up valid points. OCD and bipolar have very similar symptoms. For instance as Tarot mentioned, we do have a tendancy to have the same thought(s) go through our heads for hours at a time, plus we go through fases where we become reckless with money and spend like mad on a specific item, my case it's dvds. Zeban like I said before you brought up some valid points but be aware that people with bipolar disorder do have symptoms of OCD also. As Ms Lilith has mentioned the other comments where a bit harsh and it reminds me of the hatefull comments I see on youtube about well anything. If we cant discuss this peacefully without attacking each other then there is no point
