Have I already responded? If not, has anyone brought up the fact that your sex drive has nothing at all to do with being bipolar? That ‘hypersexuality’ isn’t a mental health diagnosis?
It is, perhaps,
unfortunate that the diagnostic criteria for a manic/hypomanic episode even uses the word ‘sex’ in discussing the aberrant risk-taking involved, e.g.:
Excessive involvement in activities that have a high potential for painful consequences (e.g., engaging in unrestrained buying sprees, sexual indiscretions, or foolish business investments).
I trust that you’ve not invested your life-savings in options for soybean futures?
Except for your sex-negative feelings I don’t see weekly sex with (now) one lover excessive. No, I don’t think that your libido is in overdrive because of BPID.
