For a lot of people, the last thing on their minds when they're going through a depressive episode is sex. That rings true for writer Kiana Fitzgerald, but when it comes to her bipolar I disorder, well, that's where things get a little more complicated. What does it feel like to have sex during a manic episode, and how can you really tell the difference between when you're feeling hypersexual (a likely symptom of bipolar) or when you're just feeling horny? Kiana walks us through her experience with bipolar disorder, pleasure, and love...something she had a taste of during probably one of the most defining moments in her life: her first manic episode.
