Hello JunkieCosmonaut: I'm sorry I cannot offer any insight with regard to your concern. I would imagine perhaps this is a psychological issue of some sort. However, I suppose there could also be something going on hormonally as well. So, my thinking would be that it would make sense to get yourself checked out medically, perhaps including an evaluation by an endocrinologist. But also, & perhaps at the same time, seek the services of a mental health therapist with whom you can begin to explore what you are experiencing. I'm not any kind of professional, so all of this is simply my personal opinion. However my guess would be that there is not going to be an easy concrete solution this. It's going to take time & effort to sort out.
