Welcome!

I just found out as well.
I had the same questions. I am very creative and I was afraid that the meds would affect that and they didn't hurt me in that way. The ones that I was taking made me move slowly but my mind was still its racing self.
I really liked the book I picked up called Manic by Terry Cheney. Its about a women who has bipolar and it explores her manic episodes. It is sadly funny but I relate to her a lot.
The hyper sexual-ism is REAL! I think that's one thing that after a while gets me into trouble, along with the spending of course.
I have had a hard time explaining and coming out to the family about it becasue they don't belive I am even though I got a diagnosis.
If you need anything just hit me up.
I am in the same boat as you.
