#hypersexual — Public Fediverse posts

I’m still only getting around 5 hours sleep per night. I feel less edgy and #hypersexual but I could really do with 7 or 8 hours. Maybe I should get some sleeping pills. Slightly reluctant though cos even they don’t produce real sleep, and just mask the problem.

I’ve entered a #hypomanic phase: reduced appetite; difficulty getting to #sleep and early waking; hyperproductive; #hypersexual ; increased exercise; no anxiety; talkative, craving social contact; suddenly interested in everything; actually feeling confident and interested in my job; relentless posting and checking of social media; #OCD - everything in the house in its right place 😬
Figures, as the daylight hours and levels of sunlight are ramping up. #SAD #bipolar #cyclothymia #mentalhealth

Here are the #flowers that someone at work bought for me. I only realized a few days ago that the feelings that I have for him are the #asexual #aromantic equivalent of a crush: a #squish

I'm not asexual or aromantic but the attraction that I feel for him is. I would also like to issue an apology to the asexual community while I'm at it: I have never understood asexuality before at all as someone who identifies as #hypersexual , but like many other members of the #queer community, asexuals and #aromantics suffer from erasure of their experiences and existence, as cisheteropatriarchy conditions people to ignore bonds and relationships that aren't strictly familial or allo/hetero/romantic. In hindsight I think I have experienced squishes perhaps a handful of times before but didn't understand what I was feeling or have language for it.

I think I understood aromantics on paper as people who just don't "fall in love" but never understood that those type of feelings could exist without any romantic or sexual component.

A lot of this stuff is tricky and complicated to communicate about precisely because our culture doesn't usually talk about this stuff and therefore doesn't have great language for it! All I can say is that I was confused and frightened about what my feelings meant in the context that they occurred until I properly understood them and realized that it's the actually easiest, most straightforward and most wonderful bond I've experienced in a really long time. I also think he understands our relationship as much as he's able.
