Hey gang, I recently got diagnosed in residential with bipolar 1 w/psychotic features after a heafty manic episode last year. I feel like I learn more about my brain every day now that I know what's up with it.
I have a question though:
Does anyone else with bipolar here experience sudden "cravings" for a situation or action (such as snapping fingers on the broad end, or walking through a specific grocery isle at a certain store at a very specific time, on the more narrow end of examples) with no reasons? For me, it's like my brain will fixate on needing to "complete" this one completely random and meaningless task, and until I do that, I am irritable, anxious, distracted, and sometimes close to hyperventilating.
I'm also being screened for Autism and/or OCD, and honestly based on this experience I've had for years now (+other things) I'm assuming this question more relates to one of these disorders rather than bipolar...but let me know!
