I have been dealing with mental health problems since 2012, I am treated for major depressive disorder/Severe Depression, Terrible Anxiety, and I've just started treatment for bipolar and PTSD. I'm curious as to if anyone else with bipolar, has moments of extreme compulsions that are completely out of character? For example out of nowhere when I'm not feeling super depressed I get the strong urge to talk to other people for attention outside of my marriage, It's almost like someone else takes the reins of my actions and judgement, and it's put strain on my marriage. Now before anyone assumes I am prone to think about infidelity or to think about cheating I'm not, it goes against everything I believe in, for example growing up as a child my father was commonly cheating on my mom, and both physically and verbally abusive to myself my mom and younger brother. So needless to say all of my psych providers have agreed that my dad being the way he was when I was younger is where the start of my mental health issues are rooted. So needless to say I'm 31 now I do not keep in contact with my father since I was 18. So I was very close to mom, and even at 31 my wife and I lived with my mom for financial strains reasons and my mom passed away this past March and I've noticed my behavior and mental health overall has gotten much much worse. And advice, real experience, or support would be greatly appreciated
