Sex addiction

Sex addiction

I say I am a sex addict. Then, I see many people say they are as well. I wonder if those of you who say you are really are. Do you have sever withdrawal symptoms when you are without for a few days? Is sex basically the only thing you can think about? Do you make sexual jokes about practically everything? Talk about sex almost all the time? Does it take over your life? Do you fall into such deep<b> depression </font></b>you won't leave your bed except to go to the bathroom? I go through all of this. When I go without, I manage for a very short period of time before the<b> depression </font></b>sets in. I am talking about real<b> depression </font></b>not just feeling a bit sad or unhappy. I have gone without for a year. I didn't feel happiness, yes an occasional spell of smiling over some jokes or show. I spent time sleeping, a lot of time sleeping, I had to figure out how to distract myself enough to stop thinking about wanting sex. I had to fight off the need to self harm to take over the feeling sex would give me. I chew a lot of gum, eat a lot of ice. I stopped doing my art work, coloring to take up time, stopped everything enjoyable and sat in front of the TV when I was home, laid on the couch, sleeping. Didn't want to eat, drank very little, tried to remember to take my medicine. See being an addict isn't just loving sex, it becomes a need, and sometimes, it feels like the only way I can be alive. So, don't say you are a sex addict, unless some of this stuff is what you go through.

 Hello from one sex addict to another. I've experienced a lot of those symptoms or similar. My addiction cost me a marriage and almost a job. There are online tests to determine what level of addiction you have and support groups if one wishes. At this point in my life I don't care if I'm considered an addict or not. I'm just living my life as to what feels natural for me now.

I keep fighting with my addiction because of how bad I can get. If I go on line to play around I end up on line more than doing anything else. So, I feed my addiction by sticking with live men. I talk about it to help inform others that it is a real thing. Thank you for your comment.

 There are over 100 twelve step programs that help many people w/ all kinds of problems. I'm afraid that all I have to offer is more sex if you care or dare???
Thanks for the perspective, I had no idea it could affect someone that way.
You describe being on the computer, looking. That's me the older I become it seems there is an addiction burning because I'm afraid the sex will stop soon??? and life will become unbearable.
