For me the Hypersexuality and impulsivity are the problem parts of Bipolar. I've lost my job, home and marriage as a result of my behaviour. I won't go into details, but I was arrested for some inappropriate behaviour whilst manic and I am awaiting going to court. Nobody in the Police, Social Services etc seems to understand Bipolar or hypersexuality at all. I've had to do so much research myself to present to them it's unreal. A 2007 study by Oxford University in the UK showed that sexual offenders were 3 times more likely than the general population to commit a sexual offence (link below). Whilst this doesn't excuse any behaviour, it explains it and as such presents a simple solution to present recidivist behaviour, ie treating the Bipolar. I was undiagnosed at the time of my offence, and whilst I have now been diagnosed, I'm struggling to get any support at all. All the system has done is prescribed me meds and that's it. My GP has no understanding of mental health, and I haven't spoken to a psychiatrist since November. I've asked for therapy sessions or anything where I can explore the Bipolar and understand triggers, coping mechanisms etc, but nothing.

On a lighter note I saw a tshirt recently that said 'Bipolar, great in bed, crap to live with' written on the front. Made me laugh.
