A. ... in a manic episode. It comes along with the feeling of elation and the idea that you can do anything you want and there is no reasoning or consiquences to your actions in that state. Like we have discussed before it is important in times like these for partners to understand that these actions have nothing to do with you. It is very hard, and ther are people who will not accept the possible consiquences of hypersexuality (and I am not saying you should) it is just important to know that your bipolar partner may not have a loto of control over their actions in times of mania. Mania can be controlled with the proper medications but may have the opposite effect. It is important to be open and talk about it... but be patient and try not to put too much pressure on... the pressure can make things worse.
