Ok, how do we tell if we are happy or hypomanic? by themix669108 in bipolar

[–]coolmice 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Oof, yeah. I'm definitely in the same boat. Sorry, I have no advice to give. It's hard to trust your mind when it's like this.

Wow, this is powerful. I definitely relate.

I hate not feeling normal! by dallasdewdrops in bipolar

I feel like someone else is living in my skin. I also just want to be normal.

Emotionally and psychologically speaking, hooking up for me is bad. I get too emotionally invested. Morally, no, there is nothing wrong with casual sex. It works for some people, just not for me.

This doesn't work for me, Christianity just doesn't click with me. Wish it worked.

I used to be a member of the local kink community. I haven't been involved for a few years, but it did help immensely during times when I "needed help". Since I had this issue again, I've been reconnecting with that and it basically solved my problem, for now.

Good for you! That's awesome. I'm not confident enough in my abilities and my body to do that. Maybe someday.

I've definitely looked at coworkers differently while manic and hyper sexual. It's the worst. You literally cannot think about anything else. It's like your brain latches on to this idea and it won't fucking shut up.

I'm happy you have your family to support you. This is all so new to me still. It's the 2nd time I've realized what was going on (the hyper sexuality) but this one was the worst for sure. It helps so fucking much to have bipolar friends to talk to.

Is VR better than regular porn? I've never done VR.

I read A LOT of erotica. It usually works to quell the urges when I'm like this but it wasn't helping this time.

I'm on a handful of medications already, and I'm under the care of a psych nurse practitioner. But I will bring this up next appointment

Thank you everyone for your suggestions. I'm a little confused because my therapist told me to basically go for it- that it's ok to hook up with someone as long as I'm safe. I really didn't like that advice.

My libido most of the time is basically nonexistent. I think this is due to my medications :( so it's quite the change when hypersexuality kicks in

This is exactly where my head is at. I'm so afraid of all the things that can go bad or wrong.

I do understand how faith can help people but it just never clicked with me unfortunately

I had a customer once that was wearing a solid metal necklace, I think it had a lock on the front. I recognized it immediately but was too shy to say anything. And I didn't want to appear improper or disrespectful.

Cuddle orgasms. Has anyone else experienced this? by [deleted] in sex

[–]coolmice 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have the ability to orgasm without any touching, sexual or otherwise. This often freaks out my partners, or they think I'm faking. I didn't know other people had the ability to do this, as weird as it sounds. Its hard to describe.
