Do you think you can endure more physical pain when manic?
I definitely think so and from my experience I can. That and disinhibition, doesn't help with self-harming.

It's something I've never thought about.
My sense generally tend to go out of whack when manic so it wouldn't surprise me if my pain threshold did go up a notch when manic. |

I can definitely tolerate more pain when I'm manic, a lot more pain. I've fallen asleep while getting tattooed when I was manic. I have a high pain tolerance to begin with, and I actually like pain. My husband and I are into BDSM and when I'm manic we usually end up taking our pain play a lot further.

I wanted to start a thread about this (might still do), but I thought it might be triggering, but, for here, since you admitted it yourself: I also like pain. As in, self-harming has something pleasurable about it. And indeed, can be mildly (sexually) arousing.

Quote:
There is something freeing and therapudic about it for me. (Which is true of my being a submissive in general) it's kind of like the whole world stops and I can focus on one thing and all the voices and thoughts and chaos stop just for that moment. It's a relief and a brief pause from everything that makes my life hard.

I know I can. I don't feel pain as badly when manic. My chronic pain issues lessen significantly. When depressed, they intensify. I've been watching this pattern through my past few cycles.
