I had a manic episode recently, with a short hospitalization, and during the escalation period and before I realized what was going on, I got myself into a sexual situation with a guy on a second date, off a dating site. I cancelled the relationship later, because I realized that I would be bored with him, and it was crystal clear that I would so I should not have gotten myself into a sexual situation, and advise you to be very cautious at this stage. I am fine, but waiting for the results of the STI tests was nerve-wrecking. I recommend that you journal the moods now and try to reach a stable point, but until then, avoid dating.
