Mania and Hypersexuality

[SilentRage]

I had recently posted a question about Mania and Hypersexuality on here but no one really responded. Am i the only one who suffers with this symptom which i dont think that is true. Those who do suffer with this how are you able to control your urges. I keep myself locked up in my room just so i dont do anything stupid or crazy its like i become very promiscious and then i feel dirty afterward with full of regret. I hate men with a passon. the reason for this was explain in a previous post.  and this is around the time it really seems to get worst, and so is my migraines and all the other symptoms i have right now. The heat from the warm weather and my hot flashes isnt helping anything. do any of you have any suggestions?

Well when I go through my posts I see how I presented myself when I was adjusting to a mood stabilizer (although the Tenex was prescribed for another purpose, it is a mood stabilizer). Writing 3 paragraph missives lol and varying from an agitated mixed state to dysphoric mania. I can see for myself that I was tempted to disclose aspects of my life I should not and that shows lack of good judgment, something that we all experience and is the root of hypersexuality in mania.

  I would agree but as I said certain issues that I have, but have not acted on, come on with psychotic thoughts which I am basically free from now. However, as a person with schizoaffective disorder I need a mood stabilizer to balance out the antipsychotic. Hypersexuality can come on with mania but sexual addiction is, from what I can see a form of self medication. And sometimes they overlap. A co-worker where I worked at one place would continually access explicit photos of herself on (common social networking site before they banned this activity) at the workplace and called her friends all day to look them up.
  She did end up on a mood stabilizer and a lot of her workplace inappropriate behavior including roleplay with a co-worker stopped but the computer issue did not. She was warned about it but she would hide it but it was clearly an obsession. But from what she had indicated she had been abused as a child and had a poor self image so her promiscuity was part of both hypersexualiity and sexual addiction.
   Consenting adult and safe sex are obvious limits but to me what defines destructive is if you don't feel good about it and/or wake up in the morning feeling used. But that applies to any behavior. If it is consenting adult and safe sex and a person doesn't really feel its wrong but its the morality they grew up in that's one thing but sometimes you just think about something and feel "this is not healthy" and its an instinct. Its the difference between playing the lotto once in a while and gambling all your savings so to speak.
