i have been on meds for bipolar for a few years and usually i do fine. but recently i have gone up and down rapidly. normally when i am manic, i get very sexually promiscuous, cheating on partners, hooking up with the wrong men, etc. currently i am in a relationship of a year and really love my boyfriend. but mania came back and i started flirting more, especially with one paricular person. my doc immediately noticed and adjusted my meds....now i am back to normal, even a bit on the low side, but i am still attracted to this guy. i know he is not the right kind of guy for me, he is actually pretty wrong, so why do i still keep thinking about him? im not manic anymore, but it hasnt seemed to change my opinion of him. nothing has happened between us or anything, but i dont know. i still love my boyfriend and want to be with him, so what do all these feelings mean? i never know if i am just not with the right guy or if i am going through a spell of bipolar and just not thinking clearly. does anyone else go through this? how do you know when to trust yourself?

Maybe you are still thinking about him BECAUSE nothing happened? Just a thought.


Maybe there is a need to spice things up with your partner?


I'm the last person who knows what to say about sex but just thought I'd share my 2 cents.
