I get restless and have had several relationships between my two long-term ones. The commonality? My mania and need for thrill seeking adventure. I am bipolar and one of the hallmarks of mania is to go through relationships from one to the other and being hyper sexually active. Looking back on it, I walked away from the two relationships during bouts of mania. I in fact needed to do so anyway, but the mania fueled the assertiveness and confidence to do so. Can you recognise any of this in yourself?

I am in a long-term relationship now but I am also in the longest period of stability I have ever been in.
