So I'm officially UP, bet that's gotta do with the fact that I have NOT been medicating diligently, and the fact that I love it...(the mania)

SO Last night I had some intense convo's with 2 guys ( who i used to know way back when we were kids) anywAy... I found myself seriously considering hooking up with 1, or both of these guys...

Now i have a significant other, but he's not my official anything except best friend (it's simple yet complicated) and being the rock he is, I called him an told him what my sick mind was planning!!!! He brought me back to reality with a thump, THANK GOD!

I mean geez I'm not into the whole casual thing, it's just not me, Although I have done it once or twice ( thrice actually) before being dxd....

WTF is wrong with me? I know I wanna get laid, but that's what my "friend" is for, I nearly screwed up BIG time...

Just needed to be honest where I'd be understood...

Definitely is part of the up of BP... Have stuffed up before myself... I guess what I find is to remove the access to temptation... just like hiding your credit cards if you spend excessively when manic (but a bit harder to hide all eligible partners!!!!) I stay away from specific guys that I am tempted with and be careful who I drink with.
(and take extra medication)

No - stay away from cyberspace. And at the end of the day, if you have needs that you need to meet, make sure they are met under the right circumstances. Find your friend, invite him over and get it out of your system for a while

Cyberspace makes things WAY to easy. I have a wife, not just a good "friend".... but yet still find myself dealing with the hypersexuality. Since she is not able to have "adult" time because of her illness... I have entertained the idea of using this great World Wide Web in order to find someone to hook up with. Be very afraid of the cyberspace access. Not only did I find out that not only can I find someone to fulfill those "false" needs that I have, I can have them at my house within the hour.

Enjoy your UP but be safe!
Be safe and honest in whatever you do.

OMG. I have to be soooo careful when I get like that. So far, I've been able to control myself by using and abusing my husband. LOL.
Good luck.

Oh yes. I've definitely had hypersexuality when manic or mixed. One at a time has always been my motto, but about 7 years ago, I had one partner after another after another with almost no time to recoup from the last. Thankfully I found the man I truly loved and was searching for, and have been together and completely faithful to him for the last 6.5 years. But, I did have a manic period in summer/fall of '09 and was so tempted to cheat with several guys. Don't know how I made it through other than knowing giving in would destroy my life and the man I love. Therapy helped. It's like you're a whole other person when you're UP. And the brain chemistry is telling you to mate with every guy with a pulse. :P Well, not every guy, but those who are convenient if not cute. Hope you're able to stay grounded and keep in touch with your friend if things get dicey.

How are things going? Is the hypomania slowing down a bit? Did you get hold of your friend to come visit?
