I can say yes we are!! I enjoyed the passage. You hit it right on, Sir. Everything seems to match up with my experience, except I think you left out that some folks manage to have a longterm relationship, with us bipolars. I'm talking about others I know, not myself. I've been married three times and find that is enough. I went to a twelve step addiction for love addiction. I tried to date a couple of people after my last divorce. I found it was way too intense and depressed the hell out of me to feel that much. I do ok by myself. Although, I do want to be with someone, just not in a relationship. I guess that makes me shallow, but it is what it is. Also I'm trying to stay morally correct and falter sometimes. I guess I could have been a nun and didn't know it until later in life. Thank you. Jennifer

Ahhh...sex
Yes, something that as a person with bipolar has a huge need for. I have been happily married for nearly 30 years. My husband at times thinks he's the luckiest man and at times thinks I put too much pressure on him. I've invested in a toy to take some of the burden off of him. Even when in a depressive state (unless I'm WAY in the depths), sex is very important to me. It makes me realize that I'm still alive and can experience color in an otherwise very gray and somber life. I think it has something to do with my love language being touch. I need and crave touch...when sex is part of the deal...it's so much better. Unfortunately I had an experience with my first med that made it impossible to have an orgasm...for over a year! Think of what that does to an already fragile mind. It took me another six months to work through the distorted thoughts.
I'm happy to say that except for some mild flirting with the opposite sex, I've not felt the need to stray from my wonderful marriage.

I am schizo-affective, so I am schizophrenic and bipolar, delusional and moodswingy.
You just haven't had sex until you've had it with a demon or an angel or with God.
Stop trying to downplay one of the benefts of my illness, please.
Partners have egos that just get in the way; it is better to be monogamous with yourself and your delusions/fantasies. Then, there are no limits on one's sexuality.
