i just spent 5 days in a crisis center cause i had a bad breakdown. and while i was in there i talked to a shrink about my problems. before i went in there i was smoking pot pretty heavily. and i had done coke for the first time 3 days before that. The shrink diagnosed me as being bi-polar and a hypersexual. what i want to know is, does this mean that i cant have sex or that i just need to control my hormones a little better. and if anyone has any personal experience with these disorders could you give some advice. by the way staying away from the sex seems to be harder than staying away from the pot. please help!!!

Hypersexuality is a desire for human sexual behavior at levels high enough to be considered clinically significant.
The concept of hypersexuality replaces the older concepts of nymphomania (or furor uterinus) and satyriasis. Nymphomania was believed to be a psychological disorder characterized by an overactive libido and an obsession with sex. In males the disorder was called satyriasis (for etymology of the words, see nymph and satyr). "Nymphomania" and "satyriasis" are no longer listed as specific disorders in the DSM-IV.
Hypersexuality can be a symptom of bipolar disorder and is generally associated with the manic phase of the condition. It can result in later regrets (depressive phase).
Increase in hypersexual behaviors during periods of depressed mood is interesting in terms of previous suggestions that such behaviors may in fact be symptoms of depression and may respond to antidepressant medications.Cocaine use may result in hypersexual symptoms. Patients with hypersexual symptoms may have a range of conditions, including obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and Tourette’s disorder so it is appropriate to rule these out.

First of all everybody is getting labled bi-polar these days. I am willing to bet you are a teenager who has been trying out new things, some of which you say are drugs. Well, have you noticed that doing drugs tend to alter your thinking, then you find youself sober and wondering if what you where thinking when you where high made more sence. So you start toget confussed and pissed off...ect....ect...you get moody then do some coke it opens you eyes way further than the weed did and everythings great untill the drugs run out of drugs then you have to come down and it makes you feel really angrey and scared ect...ect....now you get sober and start questioning yourself and have a nervus breakdown and go seek help. Instead of you being a typical teenager lost in translation you have now been labled as having a mental disorder. This will do worse things for you than the drugs did. You where probably feeling a little crazy before and now they have told you that you are (yeah I know they told you that it doesn't meen your crazy but who's going to believe that?). My advice is to pick one sex partner and stay with him or get a toy (orgasims use to be used to calm women during psychotic episodes. Thats why dildod where invented). Go get a second oppinion. I was diagnosed as bi-polar when I was sixteen only to have two doctors tell me five years down the road that they didn't see anything wrong with me.

Do You know most shrinks have shrinks themselves. I remember a long time ago going to family counseling only to find the guy that was the consular was cheating on his wife and had a major problem with facing reality. He was going bald but combed his hair forward to cover the baldness. he was an early version of Donald Trump. Anyhow what you need to find out is what your areas are to be avoided. All the therapy in the world will not stop you from wondering about breaking the limits but you need to compare the consequences with the rewards. It is best to stay away from the drugs and along with that learn that sex is a part of life not the controlling force in it. Hormones can be subdued but the mind must be controlled by YOU.that bi polar **** is a cop out and you need to get a grip on reality. It is too easy to put labels on life instead of dealing with it. Learn to respect yourself and put more value on YOU. The ups and downs of life come to everyone and facing them with a positive attitude is better than using excuses like OH i"m bipolar. You will end up on zombie pills and unsure of every phase of life. Tell the shrink to give positive advise on dealing with the problems not prescribe pills.

You need alot more therapy. Yes, you need to control your sexual urges. You are not an animal in heat, so use some common sense. You are making your bi-polar problems worse by using drugs. Right now you are your own worst enemy.

Getting advice from a place such as this should in NO WAY replace or take precedence over what a Doctor has ordered/suggested.

I think that you should ask your therapist about it. I've never heard of hypersexual, so I don't really know.
