Thank you! But I need to clarify something. Sex addiction can be present along with bipolar disorder, but what I was talking about here is something totally different. Hypersexuality is when your sex drive is put into a high gear during mania because the chemicals in the brain are messed up. It only happens during episodes as opposed to all the time, like with sex addiction. Now someone can crave the high of sex/seduction during mania but it goes away when mood stabilizes.

You described my sexuality. Bipolar has a total effect on me...up and down. Great video and an important topic that tends to be overlooked.

It is overlooked a lot and I debated quite a bit on whether to do videos on this topic, but then I remembered what I wanted this blog to be about - real and honest...so I did it. I blushed a bit, but I think it will be helpful. It would have been helpful for me if someone had talked about it to me way back in the beginning.
