But I feel sooo freakish, someone please admit to me that I am not alone, have anyone had this problem before with the disorder... 
Side note : I have also been broken up with my ex for a month now so maybe I've had this problem before but never to this extent because he was there, but even then, after its done It still wouldn't be enough for me! |
First of all, you are not alone. There's normal fluctuations with Bipolar, and it's more common than you would think. My libido is naturally on the high side, so it's especially high when manic, and I have experienced exactly what you are describing, especially while hypo. You are not freakish at all. 2 weeks is a pretty short of time, and if that's not your baseline, you'll come back down eventually.
One thing I can't help but note: it is possible the break up could have something to do with it as well, but it is nothing to worry about....it's probably just an adjustment issue. Sorry that you're going through that.
