You know, I think I do get that way when depressed (not as often though). Sometimes it's like a way to not obsess about all the shit.
Of course, there are those times too when hubby says or does something and it's like oh yeah, there's my man...hubba hubba! :P~

I generally want sex a lot but although I was still having sex when I was depressed, it wasn't as often. So I guess theres a decrease in my sex drive when I'm depressed.

for me I guess tha now that I think about it I want it more when I am depressed.

That would perfectly explain why I get so pissed off when the bf gets to wasted to give it to me.

i always want sex. no matter what mood i'm in, what time of the day it is, how tired i am, what's going on in the world, no matter what.
oh, and if something really awfull has happened, i want it even more.

yep!

Hi, greeneyedbpgirl!!!
Yes. My moods may soar high, my moods may plunge low, but the one constant in my life is Persistent Sexual Arousal Syndrome. Perhaps I should have chosen Eveready as my screen name.

LOL Carla LOL! I'm glad I brought ths up because now I don't feel so alone. I was beginning to think I was a sex addict or something. In that case, we all are...LOL!

actually, i read somewhere that bipolar people have the highest sex drive in the world.

I don't doubt that as sometimes it seems as I'm obsessed with it. Thinking about it all the time and so forth. It makes me feel sooooooo much better to "blame" it on bipolar LOL!

If your husband complains, tell him its all part of your treatment! Doesn't he want you to get better?!! :P

LMAO Kasuka LMAO.....yeah that's a valid point. My treatment plan: Lamictal, Wellbutrin, Abilify, Klonopin, Topamax, Gabitril, and Viagra (for the spouse) LOL! Sounds good to me!

Sure, that's all very well and good, but my soulmate and I are BOTH BP and hypersexual. We can't spend ALL the damn time treating each other!!!!
Or could we!!!?

yep, i'm that way during the highs and lows. I've found that that is one way to release a few endorphins and i feel better for a while.

When I am depressed I dont have the same intense sexual cravings. But the intimacy with my husband when depressed is just as important. It is a way of connecting with him and feeling close. That helps me get through my depression.

I'm with you Shelly. I am waaayyy over-sexual when I'm not so depressed, but I need that intimacy with my partner to make me feel like "normal" is still a possibility in my life. I'm not usually an extremely "touchy feely" type of person, but when I'm down I need to be rubbed and told that I'm loved and made to feel like things might be OK. I am guilty of wearing my partner out when I'm not so low. He has a high sexdrive (THANKFULLY), and unlike my last partner, he has NO problem keeping up. LOL He would kill me if he knew I was putting his business in the street.
