Greetings
Since the age of 13 I had been consumed by sexual compulsion crisis that last for weeks. However, over the last year I note an improvement (due to to Prozac, 60mg a day and Seroquel, 20mg before going to bed), but the compulsions have disappeared altogether, only reduced in duration (from one day to one-two weeks).
It's most disturbing that the most extreme sexual degradation is sought by me while trapped by compulsions. They are so severe that prevented me from going to work and look after my family. The sexual urge made me visit local gay venues, only to be leaving them shortly in guilt and remorse.
There's a long sad story about my childhood and adolescence that became comprehensible to me after seeing a psychotherapist for more than 18 months.
My question is whether there are chances to eventually become normal and lead a normal life.
Although I haven't been diagnosed yet, I suspect I have bipolar disorder, to say the least, aggravated by social avoidance and other disorders. Moods swing so abruptly that leave me confused; an insignificant trigger is sufficient to bring them about.
I believe I'm neither a good husband nor parent, but in the same time I cannot live by myself. I would die if I would be left alone. But I think that this might be the only solution - it's better than destroying my family.
Regards
Try something in between. Find a flat near your family and visit them whenever you feel it is possible to act as a good husband and parent. Do not give up to improve yourself. See a skilled psychotherapist who can help you to become a responsible person, who dare to feel scaring feelings without using sex as a drug.
