i think i might be bipolar my mother is bipolar and i have alot of mood changes and i have been called bipolar twice in my life and this is worrying me because i dont want to be bipolar because i already have manic depression (on the down low) and have Constant headaches and doctors dont know what it is. i also have OCD and cant control it...its becoming harder and harder every day to control.

You don't need to worry...bipolar is the same as manic depression. So no additional diagnoses. What have you tried for the OCD? I have OCD too, and zoloft and Effexor have both been helpful. Took low-dose haldol for awhile, and that helped too but made me too sleepy.
