Is being bipolar and manic depression the same?
If it is, then yes I have dated women(2) with this affliction. The best sex I have ever had.
Of course the relationships ended in disaster. They were gorgeous too.(Well to me they were).
I was tempted to hang out in the lounge of a psychiatric clinic(The Ontario Hospital or OH for short)
just to see if I could hook up with a few ladies. This was when I was much younger and a soul less
rutting pig.

Hunka, you are so right. I dated two (well three counting my ex while she was going through menopause) and I tried to understand the whole thing. It is truly a tragic illness. With out some sense of what the problem is a relationship can get really ugly.
G.A.
Sam, I'll say it again. It is the best thing for you is to seek out another GF.
This disease will drain you. It's incurable and can only be kept stable with meds.
Bipolar Woman
Having had my sexual escapades in numerous ways while being maniacal or hypo maniacal, I never linked my need for such adventures to Bipolar Disorder in the beginning. It is proven without a doubt that many Bipolar women, mention a state of hypersexuality while being hypo maniacal or maniacal.
Much more women than men, mention this hypersexuality as an extra symptom of their episode. Since there is so little information about Bipolar Disorder and the relation between hypersexuality and addiction to sex,
Probably because it's no fun to write and relive your own sexual escapades when you weren't thinking straight at all. Let alone share your most intimate details related to those sexual adventures. After all, most women who have gone through similar sexual escapades, know about the price there is to pay and the shame that lays ahead, years after the actual events. because you might have a friend, obviously addicted to sex, always being called promiscuous, behaving this way because the person might be suffering from an important symptom of Bipolar hypo mania. Someone not yet being diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder, not receiving proper treatment and risking his or her own life in a very serious way.
Perhaps you are struggling with hypersexuality. Hypersexuality is an increased need, even pressure, for sexual gratification and is often a symptom of mania. It may also include decreased inhibitions or a need for "forbidden" sex. A forum member in our community described her experiences as follows: "I have a very low sex drive unless I'm manic, in which case I'm willing to do it with anyone or anything, male or female, married or unmarried - all my morals go right out the window. I have gotten myself in serious trouble this way. Aaaagggh!!" Another wrote: "I'll go a few weeks and have to be with my husband every night, sometimes waking him up in the middle of the night if I wake up."
Hypersexuality is one of the things that can ruin a bipolar person's marriage or committed relationship. In these days where sexually transmitted diseases can kill, unrestrained hypersexuality can also be deadly. Not every person who has bipolar disorder experiences this, but for those who do, it may be a serious problem. Finding the right combination of bipolar medications to control mania is an essential step toward keeping hypersexuality from becoming destructive. There are also a number of specific behaviors which are common to those who struggle with this addiction. These behaviors include: compulsive masturbation, compulsive sex with prostitutes, anonymous sex with multiple partners (one night stands), multiple affairs outside a committed relationship, frequent patronizing of sexually-oriented establishments, habitual exhibitionism, habitual voyeurism, inappropriate sexual touching, sexual abuse of children, and rape.6 In addition to these, fantasy sex, prostitution, pedophilia, masochism, fetishes, sex with animals and cross-dressing may also be behaviors of the sexual addict.7
It is important to note here that any one of these behaviors in and of itself does not constitute an addiction (though it may constitute deviant or illegal behavior, which is beyond the scope of this article). It is a combination of these behaviors along with the compulsivity previously discussed that comprises a sexual addiction.After much research, I am saddened to report that this male dominated subject continues to circumvent women entirely.
Mayo Clinic describes masturbation as "compulsive sexual behavior." Compulsive sexual behavior - sometimes called hypersexuality is linked with nymphomania or sexual addiction. They add that this behavior, untreated can damage self-esteem, relationships, career and other people. But with treatment, a person can manage compulsive sexual behavior and keep their urges in check. Shame on Mayo Clinic for their missed opportunity to include this symptom as part of the spectrum disease of Bipolar Disorder.

Dated? Only a callous bitch.
Come close to asking out? One person that I realized was a little off her rocker before I asked...
Worked with? CHECK! It's PAINFUL dealing with bipolar people.
Everyone gets depressed some times... even REALLY depressed. But those that are constantly swinging between the two, it really takes a toll on the people around them.

Agreed...
I would humbly suggest to others what has already been said, and that is to run away.
I had to live in my car for a few weeks because she had spent all my money. She stalked me for a year, it was awful.
It's been several years but almost every day I think how lucky I am to be free of her.
Cheers.
I was living with my fiancé for years who was very affected by this mental disorder. It destroyed me, emotionally and financially. I endured years of walking on egg shells, never knowing what tiny mis-interpretation of something I might say or do causing all hell to break loose. It's taken years to get over the experience.

I'm not sure I can say anything that hasn't already been said.
Please keep in mind that anyone with this disorder that has been diagnosed should be on Meds to regulate it. If they don't take the Meds everyday(keep in mind the Meds do take a few weeks to work to their full capacity) and people still stick around, it's your own effing fault! Bipolar is not a disorder that goes away or that can be cured and the people diagnosed are probably fully aware of this unless their doctor is a complete fucktard. If they choose not to medicate themselves then they should be prepared for those close to them to leave. No one should walk on eggshells or put up with emotional abuse because they think it will change or love the person. Do your research people.. There is no one to blame but yourselves at that point. I believe in tough love and leaving until the issue is resolved is a big part of that.
I have numerous friends that have been "diagnosed" with this issue and are currently being treated and they come off as any normal person would provided they stay on their Meds and you wouldn't even know about the problem unless they mentioned it.
Those think all bipolar people aren't worth the time, maybe you should re-evaluate your choice in women and stop generalizing everyone with the disorder. Some do care about themselves and those around them.

Agreed. My exwife is/was bi-polar, undiagnosed and self medicating with booze and assorted drugs....so her condition was complicated with drug addiction, and made it very difficult for me to continue living with her. She hid it during our engagement, but very soon after we married it manifested itself with fury. I took a huge emotional and financial hit that set me back 10 years....and has taken that long to get over her, mostly the damage done to me, physical and emotional scars. She refused to see the doctor, and got worse and worse. I wound up leaving her, as she wouldn't get help...and ran for my life with nothing but the clothes on my back.
Run boys....and girls. Not worth it.
Sugar Daddy has a lot of it dead on. As for SP's being bipolar, you just never know. I have one in love with me right now. She has followed me to several cities in Western Canada and US, driving for up 20 hours to see me. So it is good when she does, and her expenses get covered, and a tip and we are quite together physically. Great lady, Asian, older, and maybe desperate, irons shirts, packs a suitcase like you wouldn't beleive, clean and tidy gal. Makes some of these events a real pleasure and sexy as hell. But bipolar, oh my goodness. Finally think she has lost interest and I am breathing a bit deeper now. whew!
