I've been recently diagnosed as BP2 and am still discovering my mania/hypo mania. One thing I've read is about sexual impulses. Does this effect everyone differently? Because i have no sex drive at all, even when I'm not depressed. The idea of sex is even repulsive to me. Im in my late 20s and should have a healthy sex drive. Am I alone?

I've been diagnosed for 11 years now and in that whole time, there was only once where I "had" to have it NOW, and I wasn't taking my meds. So you're not alone there. But there are many times I was careless about sex and I would be the initiator. I believe I did this just to feel something, ANY kind of affection at all, even if it involved vegetables or food (joke).

Trick is to try and learn to balance these impulses. Hmnnnn, not an easy task at all.

not alone I don't get the hypersexuality even when highly manic. I turn to drugs and alcohol to fill that void.

Closest thing I have is impulsive eating I had to tell my parents not to buy junk food just so it wouldn't be in the house because I have no self control, I'm an impulsive shopper as well, I'm dangerous on Amazon

I have very low sex drive as well in general. But my most recent episode had me very hypersexual. I spend $ and chase drugs/highs mostly. Sometimes I exercise compulsively. But seriously I just bought a $53 litter box for a cat I DON'T HAVE!!

Sex was intended as an incentive for reproduction. But since having kids is so bad, (I can hear the mothers from here) man kept the good part and invented condoms.

I don't get impulsive. I'm a non impulsive person. I overthink things. I'm indecisive. One time I stood in the chip aisle at the grocery store for twenty minutes because I couldn't decide what chips I wanted. Lol!
TMI, but I'm always hypersexual. Even when depressed.

I'm just worried if this is something to be concerned about. I can't talk to my friends about sex without feeling uncomfortable, sometimes to the point of being disgusted. Porn and masturbation also do nothing for me, I try and always get bored quickly and give up.
I've been told there is such a thing as asexual but I think it's beyond that |
