I'm depressed and suicidal but by sex drive has gone way up?!
Question: I'm depressed and suicidal but by sex drive has gone way up?
thanks.
Answers:
mine can do that too. i've thought of it as a way for my body to comfort itself. you feel like sh!t, so your body goes into pleasure itself mode so that you'll feel a little better.
also, are you seeing a psychiatrist? if you aren't please do. trust me, it helps. and if you ARE seeing a doctor and it's not helping, it's time for new meds.
also, could you be bipolar? i have rapid-cycling bipolar and occasionally i'll have symptoms of mania and depression at the same time, and the sex drive thing really can be part of that. i mean, sometimes when i'm manic or depressed (usually manic) i'll be sexually aroused for days on end (and i'm a girl, so that's weird lol).
You're probably looking to escape the doldrums through the quick-fix of an orgasm. Totally understandable and quite normal. However the suicidal bit is far more concerning, Therapy helped me quite a lot, you may want to consider it.
Avoid antidepressants if you can, a proper diet and exercise regimen goes a lot further in restoring chemical imbalances. If you do NEED antidepressants, then perhaps you might want to look into changing types or dosage.
Edit: I really don't think the suddenness of your sex drive is anything to be concerned about, especially at your age. If it feels good.. do it. There's nothing like a bit of sexual adventure to bolster the spirits right?
I suffer from depresion and I do get kinda horny when I get a bit low, I just put it down to thinking a companion might help or some sex might help relive some tension in your mind.
Don't go and **** somone that you would consider lower than your standards out of desperation, the feeling of regret is not a good thing to have on your mind but if some one you really like comes along by all means shag your brains out.
its normarl for a teen to have a high sex drive either way
yep..its normal...i mean many ppl icludin me do get it...so donn worry..ynjoy!
