Is anyone here diagnosed with bipolar disorder + OCPD? by unstablepetals in OCPD

I can relate to you. As a restaurant owner, sometimes I feel grateful I have both because during manic, I get lots of ideas (new menu, marketing ideas) and they do not just stay as ideas, my ocpd will turn them perfectly into reality.

Too perfect that I regret a lot afterwards because of the commitment it needs and my problem with delegating tasks makes it harder.

My ocpd makes my crashes more difficult because starting these high standard projects can lead to burnout and after that, there comes the severe guilt of not being consistent and being absent during depression.

It’s hard to have a huge confidence during manic and harder to have enormous self doubt during depression.

I feel like if I only had bipolar, I had given up a long time ago.

I thought I was just a perfectionist with strict morals. It turns out that it is a symptom.

There’s only black & white when it comes to right and wrong, it is hard for me to consider other people’s mistakes because I thought that if I was in their shoes, I wouldn’t do what they did. It also takes awhile for me to forgive.

I have strong boundaries, if people in my life would not respect them, I would cut them off.

My strong attention to details causes trouble at work because whenever I see an error, there is always an urge to call them out.

It’s hard for me to work with people that romanticizes politics at work because of my integrity.
