Ciao Bellissima
It's nice to hear from you again. I'm a bipolar also, miserable bipolar type II stuck in depression (seems impossible to get out of this pit); my beautiful, long standing, seven years long gentle hypomania has been replaced by a twelve years long standing depression. I do cycle a little bit, but always beneath the "surface" if you know what i mean.
I'm aware that mania can induce hypersexuality in some people (thanks for telling me though); but i know the guy quite well, and he likes to joke and tell somehow "indecent" phrases just for the fun of it; he's mainly a "wanderer" during his manic phase : he likes to meet new people, talks a lot, walks a lot, travels a lot (like i did, even though i wasn't in a frenzy and didn't have the talking pressure he does).Thanks for posting
ciao
