I am bipolar. I never realized that the hypersexual activity is a symptom of bipolar. I am having hard time understanding this. I have the hypersex symptom. However, when I on a low or manic depressive, I do not have the sex symptom. I then have the no sex symptom. So why does it come and go so dramatic. There are times I'm driving and I get so wound up I'll call my husband and tell him to meet me 'cause I need to have sex. So, then when on a low, try to explain to hubby why I just had a week of being insatiable, and now want nothing to do with sex. It is making me crazy. Why is that?
