A long time ago, I read a non-fiction book called Seized that described it. At first, it was hard for me to believe so I read some journal articles and it is a real neurological problem. It can be controlled with medication. Finding the right one might take some trial and error.
If you do decide to seek medical help, it'll probably be in your best interest to say you think you may be experiencing some sort or neurological hypersexuality, instead of calling yourself a nymphomaniac, just because of cultural bias against a loaded term.
Most neurologists will know how to proceed to help you.
I wish you the best of luck.

Thank you. I've been trying to read up on whatever I can find about the subject, but a lot of the online pages go straight to porn pages that think labeling a woman a "nympho" is a cute and sexy thing. There is NOTHING cute or sexy about this; it's painful and kind of disgusting. My husband doesn't understand why I sometimes go to bed crying if I'm having a shame-spiral; it all depends on where my head goes directly after release. If it goes to a bad place, the following day goes straight down the sh!tter.
I know it's all in my head. I don't even know where I "go" when I'm compelled to do this to myself. I know I desperately need to stop, but fighting it just seems to make it worse. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a total prude and I *do* enjoy my orgasms, but every single day, multiple times a day, until my wrists hurt and I end up with blisters and cuts on my hoo-ha? That's messed up.
