Thanks, that helps. I can definitely relate - I’ve been in denial that I even have a medical problem this week because I feel on top of the world. Hyper sexuality is a major problem for me when I’m manic. Thankfully, I’ve never done anything outside of my marriage, but I am guilty of online binging.

This may be better as a separate post, but what is your advice on confessing things you did while manic to your spouse? When I come back down to earth, I feel a lot of remorse and guilt and want to have some accountability (e.g., put some kind of internet filter that my wife has the password to so that I won’t engage in this behavior when manic). But to do that, I would have to confess, and I don’t know that she could handle it or would understand. She might think I just don’t love her anymore.

Thanks,

Pacman
