Mental Health Humor: Hypersexuality, Sex Sex Sex and More Sex

“I wish I could find a m that could love me and my bipolar”
Sooner or later this subject had to come up. I’ve avoided this subject for a while because it is a sensitive one and seeing that I’ve drawn over 100 cartoons…I’m just running out of subjects and sex is factor with in mental health. But i’ll just cover the basics.
Most men might just say great idea! Many men might even wish they could find a woman just like that… Shakespeare might of had it right ‘all that glitter is not gold‘ when it’s about such a sensitive topic of Hyper sexuality. If you’re involved or married to some one that is plagued with this issue, then you know already how damaging it really is. Too much of a good thing just isn’t good for long.
Hypersexuality is not just increased need for sexual gratification but it’s more like an unquenchable thirst and appetite for sex. For many living with bipolar disorder, hypersexuality is part of their mania.
The effect of the libido on warp speed can mean all morals can go right out the window! Many marriages can be ruined and a person with bipolar disorder has the highest risk of having hypersexuality become a sexual addiction.
In these days where sexually transmitted diseases can kill, unrestrained hypersexuality can also be deadly. Not every person who has bipolar disorder experiences this, but for those who do, it may be a serious problem. Finding the right combination of bipolar medications to control mania is an essential step toward keeping hypersexuality from becoming destructive.
If you are concerned about your own behavior and wonder if you could be struggling with this type of addiction, several online self-tests are available to assist in determining if you should seek professional advice.
If you are bipolar and experience hypersexuality to a degree that is causing turmoil in your personal life, you need to discuss this with your doctors. If you have determined that you have developed a true sexual addiction, then additional sexual counseling/therapy may be necessary in addition to the treatment you are receiving for bipolar disorder.
