this is sort of off topic but i have noticed occasionally that an advertisement for increasing ones sex drive pops up at the top of my forum page ...since hypersexuality is such a common symptom of bipolar, i found this funny...yes, lack of sexual desire is a common symptom in depression but should manic people who have the hypersexuality really be given any encouragement?? like dangling a carrot in front of a horse...( chanting "don't click, don't click")
PPP~~~

I always afraid to click it, cause who knows what danger lurks around the corner...lol. Although when I'm depressed I could sure use something to peak my interest. I'm either a hussy in control or a maiden in distress. Go figure!

first off, let me start by saying i love this board and respect it's boundaries and purpose....but.......
a place dealing w/ mania punishing those who occasionally step over the line is, in my ever so humble opinion, borderline hypocritical...it's a symptom of the very disease we come for support with...but in their defense, we all did read the rules and terms and agreed to abide by them...
oh h*ll, once again i can't even form a concrete opinion, make a stand or find a conviction...so wishy washy...many levels of issues behing this annoying trait of mine...don't even know where to start....
siiiiiiiiiiiigh...PPP~~

I know exactly whereof you speak, having been truly, unfairly, um, castigated once.

HI there,
I am confused by PPP's response on this subject line. Did I say something inappropriate in my post. I just meant the meds either keep me completely uninterested in sexual play or when I am manic I'm the one doing the chasing. My husband can never figure me out. Sorry if I offended anyone, it was truely not my intention.

no no marioochi...my reply wasnt directly in response to yours...i was just venting that i feel sometimes the board rules are too rigid for the manicly hypersexual...it's a symptom of bipolar in many and we come here to vent it and get support...for the few who might step slightly over the line, the punishments are inevitable..it's not like the diabetes board posting sexual messages, that's not a symptom of that disease...but for us it's different...
but as i said earlier (covering my tushy) we all read and agreed to the rules of the board...sorry for any misunderstanding...
PPP~~~
