This started in feb 2011 since I was having inferiority complex towards my short hight. Sometimes I felt like socially abused due to this .i developed social anxiety due to this .things related to hight or to improve it keeps running on my mind and I was unable to come out this. Latter I diagnosed as a case of OCD. Finally in july 2011 I admitted to the hospital due to depression and diagnosed as a case of bipolar disorder not of OCD. But those images of short people and thought related to my hight bothered me alot when I told this to doctors they told that it will go away with the time. Latter on situation improved and these thought and images gone away completely. I started living a normal life like others. Now these thoughts and images still comes but after many months and only for a week or two and then goes off automatically. This time after so many months (almost a year) it came back and bothering me lot. Now these image and thoughts keeps running on my mind so frequently that it intrupts daily routine .unable to focus on things like tv and alI. I am having problem with my sleep. It gets interrupted and I feel like frightened, anxious and wake up with little racing heartbeat. Pls help me doctor. How to stop these racing thoughts.

Dear lybrate-user, Such relapses and remissions are common in bipolar disorder. It you are on regular mood stabilisers, you will have longer period (more than a year) of normalcy. At present, you seem to be going in for a relapse. Please consult your psychiatrist and start taking other drugs along with mood stabilisers. Even without that, it will go away by itself. But you and your quality of life suffer due to it. So better to go for treatment.
