Writing this after a trauma processing dream (not quite a nightmare thankfully)..
One of the worst parts of mania is hypersexuality. You really want that type of activity at just the time you really can’t have it – because you’ve lost capacity.
To put it bluntly, it’s not sex it’s rape.
Do not have get sexual with a person who has not slept for 2 or more days. Especially do not if they’ve been awake for 4 or more: it is the same as if they were drunk, they CAN NOT consent.
And quite frankly, at that point it’s obvious. At that length of time awake, anyone, bipolar or not will be clearly loopy.
So yeah, mania is as traumatic as anything, and I’m left processing all of this.
