This is really embarrassing but I am reaching my limit 

It’s genuinely becoming an issue, I don’t *want* this, I’m wasting so much time trying to deal with it because it’s distracting enough that I can’t focus for shit.

TMI sexual health info &gt;!My body doesn’t have the correct physical response, and based on what people have said, even if it did that wouldn’t solve the issue for long anyway!&lt;

For the record I’m not asking for sexual advice, please do not, (I’ve had unfettered access to the internet for years so I doubt you’ll tell me anything new, and if I *wanted* horny people in my DMs I would seek them out) 

I’m asking for advice on making it go away or at least become less distracting because it’s genuinely leading to detrimental impacts on my life because of the time sink and because of how much it impacts my focus

I don’t even *like* sexual things. I just want to clean my goddamn depression hoard of a room and be able to *think.*


.

Context, I’m bipolar 1, currently in what I think is a mixed episode, and I don’t know how to manage this 

My first real manic episode was just a few months ago, before that I think I’d have been classed as type 2, but I don’t know because the severity of that episode is what prompted me to push for a diagnosis, but yeah

&gt;!I just don’t know what I’m doing or how to deal with it and I’m kind of at the end of my rope and actively reminding myself not to do anything stupid just to make it *shut up*!&lt;

.

I am aware this is borderline incoherent, I’m sorry,

**TL;DR** asking for advice on dealing with increased sex drive that has reached the extent of negatively impacting daily life; please don’t suggest sexual activities because they do not solve the problem

Let me know if I used the wrong flair, that spoilered paragraph is the reason I chose the one I did
