Shameful and misunderstood...

I haven't been a member for long at all. I kind of feel a bond and understanding with you guys out there. This is a struggle for real! I've ruined so many relationships throughout the years. Amongst all of them, the common denominator is me. I get that, but at the same time, they don't get me. I've just joined this site looking for camaraderie and understanding. I've read and replied to a few posts. It feels good to relate to somebody, offer support and reassure them that they're not alone. I struggle with a few mental health diagnoses. I was hoping to see someone address an elephant in the room and mention hypersexuality as a symptom. It comes and goes with me. Mostly stays with me. Out of all my "symptoms" it seems like the most misunderstood and is the most shameful. Can you relate??? What should we do???

Have you talked to a doctor or any professional about this ?

Recently I have. It was so embarrassing man. Since I confessed to these feelings, me and my psychologist haven't really gone into too much detail. I mentioned it to my psychiatrist first. She recommended me to the psychologist. I haven't built up enough trust to speak freely about it. I feel like less of an aspiring Christian and decent person in general. This has to be one of the worst issues that relate to my mental health diagnoses. I am a good person. I'm not creepy or a perve. I am just struggling right now?

Yea its definitely a tricky one to treat, its probably bi polar related though. Im not religous but i dont think you should be ashamed. What for? How bad is it? If its just thinking about sex all the time thats not terribly far from a normal man lol. If its taking over your life and affecting relationships the. I would say its an issue that should be addressed by a professional.
