Does anyone know of any books or any literature about hypersexuality as a symptom of BP Mania? It makes me feel sooooo lonely, i just need someone right now, but then I will get myself into another huge mess and ruin my life for good. I can't handle this!!

There is a small section called "Hypersexuality" in the "Bipolar Disorder For Dummies" book by Candida Fink, MD and Joe Kraynik. It says in the first two sentences:
Hypersexuality - supercharged state of sexual confidence and desire - is a diagnostic feature of mania that often results in risky sexual behavior. It stirs up boatloads of trouble for the person with bipolar disorder and her family.
Hope this book helps.
