Ever since I got diagnosed with bipolar, I've been somewhat obsessively reading about it. However, the answer to this I could never properly find, either because it hasn't been studied or because I don't know the right terms for it. But I'm curious to see if other people also experience it and, it so, does someone have a name for it. 

Anyhow, not every time, but occasionally when I'm in my low mood, waiting for something big in my life, I get crippling anxiety. Now, the problem is not the anxiety part. I get super OCD about it, to the point that I cannot lead my life normally. When I walk, I need not touch the lines on the road with my feet. I need to cross the line with my left foot. I need to touch the door knob ten times before I let go off it. I cannot fall asleep unless all of my things are turned westward, etc. The list goes on. The problem is that if I don't do it, I think that I will not get the thing that I'm waiting for, kinda like that I'll get bad luck. So this is my safe way of ensuring good luck. But that doesn't last forever, once I feel good or get what I want, I stop doing it. Then it repeats again, another cycle. Anyways, I was wondering if anyone else is going though this and, if so, can you point me to some literature I can read on about it? 

TL;DR: Bipolar makes me OCD at times to a point that I can't live my life properly because I think something bad would happen. Anyone else?
