Bipolar Disorder Support Group
Bipolar disorder is not just a single disorder, but a category of mood disorders marked by periods of abnormally high energy and euphoria, often accompanied by bouts of clinical depression. This is the place to talk about your experience with bipolar disorder, learn from others' experiences, and find support.
If I am really tired, bored, sad, one moment and the next feel like I want to go out and possibly do things that can lead to trouble, would that be some sort of mixed episode. Rapid cycling? I'm having a hard time understanding why I am wanting to do things, alot of it is sexual in nature. I go back and forth like a freaking yo-yo, getting annoyed, and irritable because I feel such a strong urge to be sexual or go out partying!! Then I feel like a brat not getting my own way because I get so freaking annoyed!
Makes me feel nuts!! And I don't understand it!! I'd really appreciate some feedback.

The sex part is always hard thats why there are bars and lounges :)
Unless they tamp you down with lots of drugs or let you get a little manic all the time there really isnt anyway to curb it.
Have someone else in control of your money helps. My brother has to sign off on me for my big money. But I have sole control over a savings account and checking.
Drink alot of Extra Sleepy" Sleepy time tea. And see if your doc will give you klonopin it takes the edge off. Stilll horny but not quite so IN YOUR FACE.
Good luck.
That's what I feel like when I'm manic, but it may be a mixture of your meds too.
--I told my doc about it(which was a little awkward)he up-ed my lamictal and cutdown my lexapro and my sex drive wasn't as animalistic i'd guess you could say-I wasn't thinking about it all the time, and wanting it all the time.
Being tired then suddenly wanting to be active is something I'm used to by now, I've learned that normally if I go out, I'll just want to come back home soon enough_so I won't go out, I may invite some friends over or something.
The bored and sad thing....I'm working on that now....REALLY SUCKS
