Hi @Cristeen1 Glad to hear you sought help. Did you manage to see a specialist?

Re: Confused Bipolar 2

Unfortunatly no the waiting list is very long

Re: Confused Bipolar 2

@Cristeen1, so glad you were able to get some help, hopefully with this new diagnosis you will find some relief. So sorry the length on waiting lists is so long. I am sure there are really helpful resources, books, maybe in the library system in your home state, via online and by phone for people living with OCD while you wait in line for psyche help.  I have wrangled my OCD thinking into submission (most of the time) by using mindfulness techniques, coming into the present, checking where my 'thinking' is at, bringing it to heel/heal being a gentle leader in my own life. 

It is a relief and also a deep mental blow when you get another 'label'. May you be gentle with yourself and find your way to being as well as you can be.
