Crushes are normal. But it's a problem for me during manic periods. I tend to get hyper sexual and very impulse. Not a good combo.
I have this crush on a lady at work. It's clear that she is equally attracted to me. The eye contact. The secret winks during meetings. The body language. And the energy. I'm very sensitive to sexual energy and I get a charge anytime I am close to her.
I am just one manic day, wrong place, wrong time, from acting on it. I'm married and before I was diagnosed, I went on an adultery binge. I know how all of this works. All it would take is an elevator ride or an empty room and I might pull her close and kiss her. What's worse is that we have private showers at work. All kinds of possibilities. I've used up all of my chances with my wife. I cannot afford to do this again. I REALLY REALLY REALLY want to stay married. I love my wife.
Holding on for dear life. Any advice?
