All,

Thanks for your replies. I am considering going to a mental health professional. Part of the reason why I haven't yet it is my area is really lacking in mental health professionals. The business that was the major provider of mental health services in my area (not just my city, but all the other cities in a 50 mile radius) closed down all their offices last month. They decided they weren't making enough money around here.

The antidepressant I have was prescribed by my general practitioner. It has been seeming to help me a lot for the past couple months. I think what happened recently is I screwed it up so the antidepressant stopped working for me for a few days because I drank alcohol on New Year's eve. I'm not feeling so weird today, so I'm hoping that's what was happening.

Anyhow, I was thinking biploar, but maybe I have bpd instead. It's kind of hard to separate personality from mood. I think I developed the hypersexuality a few years ago as a coping mechanism for depression. I was feeling a little depressed after the drinking and I noticed that hypersexual feeling came with it. I think that's probably why the antidepressant was working keeping the hypersexual feelings away too, because I think it comes along with depression for me.

I am thinking maybe I will try to see a psychologist some time, but it isn't too pressing for me when I'm feeling OK. I guess it would be good to just have a good understanding what the problem is so I can make sure I'm doing the right things to keep myself in line.
