Do you think it would be safe to have a bipolar master? Mostly we will be doing a lot of stuff that will involve being tied up. First of all, being bipolar does not disqualify one from being dominant. Enjoying pain or inflicting pain is a part of something else and not bipolar. Be aware that there are different level ratings of bipolar illness. I am a level two. It is very difficult to manage. I went to a shrink, but he was way too expensive for us. I switched my medicaiton back to the family doctor who is doing great. Under no circumstances would I consider just taking them with an episode. He needs to take his meds every day even when he does not think he needs it. As long as he does not do something off the wall you do not wish to have done, then he will be fine as a Master. Edit: We haven't done anything bdsm type yet, we have just talked about it. Keep talking and make sure you are both comfortable with your level in bdsm. It could bring on change in your life which can lead to stress. Stress is a big key when working with managing a bipolar illness. Keep it simple at first. Edit: Also, the girl who he had a bdsm relation with. He just used her. He didnt love her or want anything else from her. Again, that is what he said. Extra relationships cause stress as well. I don't see it as a problem, but just caution you to watch for his stressors because that leads to a bipolar episode. Most of us can tell when we are involved with something we should not be doing. I hope that helped. Best Wishes, Mistress_Jan
