Bisexual posts beat bipolar ones
The amount of traffic this blog attracts correlates perfectly with the bisexual:bipolar content ratio. Perhaps someone should glamorise bipolar disorder - but how do you make mental illness sexy?

I wish in my case it were that simple, there are other things that I consider gifts, now, that have come along for the BP ride. Sexy? Oh I don't know, I suppose to some they might find it so.
I do think when I was on the "hunt" I was a bit of a stalker. In some vain attempt to defend it, what I found myself doing was the invisible draw and they to me. I was looking for the outcast, because I felt myself as one. We somehow found each other and not just BP, but other problems for lack of a better word. As much as I understand body language it didn't explain all of the draws, from both sides. We often were just as happy to leave our one night or one week or one month stands as we were to find each other. I had a probation officer for a time (I'll never make sainthood and wouldn't want it ;p) and as I was going through my Bipolar promiscuity she said, how do you keep finding these woman. I know now, I didn't then. No one had any idea I was a Bipolar to begin with, let alone the other little things that have come for the ride. I'm also monogamous as all get out when with someone, kind of odd when you think of the Bipolar promiscuity to begin with, maybe it isn't, I just don't know. But I only asked about it once and that was, is it true to a pro, she simply shook her head yes and that was enough. It's not like I can undo the past.
Well I am experienced when it comes to sex and that just comes from paying attention with having had so many sexual partners. I don't know if that's sexy or not. I have a real difficult time knowing how others perceive me, maybe that's common too, but when a therapist asked me that question I was down right amazed I couldn't answer him.
I often find myself more interested in satisfying my partner more then I am myself. But I also have control issues and that is satisfying, it's just very important to understand there is a time for release from the control element for both. I do tend to be the dominate in bed. And some lady's do find that attractive, but that isn't a Bipolar trait, at least I don't think it is. It gets confusing in here.
The movie 'girl, interrupted' made mental disorders a little sexier for me... (namely because of the delicious angelina jolie..)
im thinking maybe a bipolar movie starring someone like Johnny Depp? mmm
Something interesting I have discovered. Every single bi-polar person I know (and I know a large number) are also bi-sexual. Has there been a study done of the relationship between the two?
That's very interesting. There have certainly been studies into the correlation between sexuality and mental health. I've noticed a very high incidence of depression among lesbian women.
One explanation for what you have observed could be lowered inhibition among people who are manic but obviously that would be simplifying it too much. I'm consistently bisexual but not consistently manic.
