Bipolar Disorder and OCD thoughts

Most people I know with bipolar disorder have OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder) symptoms.  They are normal.  

It's hard to get OCD thoughts to stop- but I do have a trick.  If I'm obsessing about a person and the person's name is going over and over in my head or something the person said is looping in my head- I just say to myself- "This will be over soon Julie. This isn't forever. It's the bipolar. Learn from this Julie and keep away from the trigger so it doesn't happen again." 

Sometimes this is easier than fighting and answering the thoughts themselves.
