Sexual Promiscuity

It would figure that I would start this adventure with a serious topic, one in which I had no idea how to make it comical. I did find one picture, it made me chuckle but might offend others.

(But really, don't Just do it.)

Some may wonder, of all the topics I could write about why pick this one first? 

It's one I can personally relate with and it's one I've seen those I know that have bipolar struggle with the most. Also it's one that I know is most questioned, misunderstood, and such. 

WHY???

• To feel loved, feel desirable, comfort, to get attention, to avoid that empty/lonely feeling
• To punish themselves
• It's a risky/dangerous activity
• to get that "high" from sex
• Loss of self control
• Impulsive
• (severe) Hyper-sexuality

It becomes an addictive cycle- One starts it to get rid of that empty/lonely feeling/to feel loved/get attention but then once it's over the feelings after happen and make you feel 10x making you want to find someone else to fill the void once again. 

Emotions After:

Dirty, Used, Useless, Unwanted, Lonely, Regret, Remorse, ect.

I can't tell you why those of us who have Bi-Polar tend to have times of being sexual Promiscuous. I can give you some reasons as to why I've done it in the past (see above), as well as to tell you that I know that I can't blame the fact that I'm Bi-Polar on the fact that I acted this way. We all have will power, and we all choose when to turn it on and off and to use it and when not to. I'm not going to say it is easy when we feel these feelings, to just say no. I can also tell you that the majority of the time we feel super regretful and used right after or soon after it happens. Especially once back on meds and once our emotions steady most of us are extremely regretful and remorseful.
