One explanation for someone who is bipolar. Hypomania can express as hypersexual.

My wife and past girlfriends have experienced this with me and to be honest it's fun for the first hour but having a throbbing boner and inability to satisfy the urge stops being fun for both parties involved. Also makes woman feel horribly inadequate that they can't get a man to cum. Add to it I try to do all sorts of uncomfortable things to us both to just find some release.

I'm sure that the bipolar woman go through what I have gone through it's like eating nonstop and still being hungry even though your stomach is about to burst. You feel like a disgusting slob with every bite but can't put the food down. All you crave is the sloppiest and nastiest food because anything healthy just doesn't get you there. The regret afterwards sometimes is next level.

Not trying to be a downer, but you did ask.

The good times are especially good and the bad times are especially bad, currently dating one and confused a lot of the time

Sometimes she's a "pick any hole" kind of girl with fictional tier blowjobs every morning but the flipside is I'm sometimes the worst person in the world because I said something triggering I don't learn about until days later that isn't even triggering to a normal person

I'm really sensitive like an empath so I've been losing sleep over whether to run or if her gushing love for me part time is worth the struggle, and also it's stressful thinking I already locked in and she might do something bad to herself if I leave now

Girl is insanely attractive like beyond my league too for context, I'm 31 and she is 26, with cutting scars all over her body which don't actually scare me but it means it probably will keep happening and there's nothing I can do about it

So far she's self aware and warns me when she's about to get sick again and I think the maturity and honesty is why I haven't ran yet. But even with warning, and her turning on me soon after, is still incredibly confusing for me

Also she sent me this meme

Passion, like everything else, is cranked up to 11?

Passion.

Sensation seeking, emotional intensity, and a certain lack of inhibition.

As a gay man, I had some of the best sex with a man that turned out to be a little cray cray. His place was immaculate but he freaked out on me after one hookup. Granted, I did cancel our second date, but no need to get weird about it. Blocked. Never driving around his place again either.

Less inhibitions.

*She can fix herself, given the internal motivation, a stable environment, and a whole lotta patience and earned trust

Source: gf has BPD and I'm really proud of her

I can fix there, too.

Only one of them is out to kill you though. The other is a cook and is cutting onions while another just had the most masive shit of her life.

Hot.

Ah the multiple personality serial killer trope. Classic, fallacious, and not the least bit problematic.

I'm diagnosed with BPD and met (quite some) other people who were diagnosed over the years. I think your theory is bullshit – but not in a rude way, it just doesn't fit what I know about BPD and the women diagnosed with BPD I got to know.

Generally, I would compare mental illness to the personality theory of temperament (in this case flavour of neurodiversity) + experience

Modern treatment methods often follow a bio-psychological or bio-psycho-social model. This is a oversimplification, but BPD is usually a biological/genetic predisposition to be more emotional + bad experiences in your childhood, leading to strong negative emotions and the lack of mechanisms to regulate those emotions, which cumulates in impulsivity, unhealthy coping mechanisms etc later on.

There's overlap with the vague concept of hypersensitivity and ADHD; there's differential diagnosis too, which is "hey, this can be similar to that, let's diagnose properly before we do anything"; and there's comorbidity.

I agree that trauma plays a big role, and I would go so far as to claim every BPD person is traumatized in a way that justifies therapy, but PTSD is a specific diagnosis, just like autism is.

I think this as well, though I have no formal training in psychology. My perspective comes from a lifelong interest in learning across fields and from having several family members who struggled with mental health, often dismissed as hysterical, crazy, over-emotional, or immature. Decades later, many of them received diagnoses of comorbid autism and CPTSD. I believe that within the next 5–10 years, assuming the DSM can be inured against political editorialization, autism diagnoses will be further refined and the spectrum will become more granular and specific.
