2sides, I cheated on my husband in a manic episode. Having said that, though, I don't think that bipolar makes people want to cheat. I wanted to cheat before I was manic, I just had the reckless abandon that I needed to actually do it when I was manic. I think the need to be desired comes from something deeper, something that goes back a long time. I know I had to face up to my issues with my dad, with the fact that no matter what I seemed to do, I couldn't gain his love, which in turn made me seek out men by the dozen. Mostly, I just strung them along and teased teased teased. You said it yourself in your post - you want to get attention and you need to feel good. That goes beyond bipolar. What you need to do now is figure out what motivates you to seek this kind of attention from other men. Do you have a counselor? This would be a wonderful topic to discuss with one... In learning to know other things, and other minds, we become more intimately acquainted with ourselves, and are to ourselves better worth knowing.
