I can't add to the list of funny posts here, but I can say I've fallen in love during hypomania (most of my full blown manic episodes were mixed). I always liked my pdoc. He's maybe 24 years my senior. Over time I started to have a crush on him, but it was innocent. Recently when high level hypomanic I started to fall in love with him. I had obsessive thoughts about him which ranged from having a torrid affair with him, to leaving my husband for him, marrying him, having a child with him, etc. I would have these thoughts for several hours each day for weeks. Appointments with him consisted of me constantly joking, teasing, complimenting him, and wearing revealing outfits. I had condoms in my pocketbook. I would remember almost every word he said and play it through my mind for days later. I was totally out of touch with reality. He was prescribing more and more pills. Later on after the episode I figured he just coughed it up to high level hypomania. Well, now I'm "stable". Maybe a bit below. I still have a little crush on him, but I'm not in love with him any more. He's a very good doctor. Post edited by: Cthebird, at: 05/04/2012 10:17 AM Bipolar 1, Simple Partial Seizures, and migraines

. It's hardly the time for me to look into another person's soul (but 100 people's souls at once might be interesting). I really really can't imagine hooking up emotionally with a guy unless I'm hella stoned. I can't remember the last time I was manic and stoned -- sounds like a terrifically bad idea, at least for me. But when I'm manic it's one bad idea after another, because it feels so good. Trust me, you don't wanna be around me when I'm manic and hogging the karaoke machine (Superstar!!!).
