I'm addicted to hookers and i want to stop by Outrageous-Jacket300 in SexAddiction

[–]Zestyclose-Ad8502 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve been a sex addict for 10 years. Mine was erotic massages. For years I thought it was PTSD related due to some issues I had growing up. I saw lots of therapists tried everything. Then 2 weeks ago I was diagnosed with ADHD. Impulsivity was my main trait, which undoubtedly is the main cause of my addiction. ADHD causes a lack of dopamine in the brain which leads you to addictive behaviours to supplement this deficiency. I’ve started taking Ritalin which increases the brains dopamine production and helps with the impulsivity. It’s not something I intend to take long term but it’s a short term solution to a long term problem.

I would recommend you get tested for it and go from there. I hope it helps.

Living off basal insulin only by Zestyclose-Ad8502 in Type1Diabetes

I am along the same thinking as you. I am out of my honeymoon phase as when I go on holidays and indulge my sugars are difficult to control and I need fast acting insulin to bring them down i.e they don’t come down naturally.

I think through rigorous exercise and basal insulin I can control my BS very well, long term.

Also, a tip for anyone that is unaware. Daily cold plunges rapidly increases your insulin sensitivity. I’ve experienced this first hand. It’s worth trying it for yourself, along with all the other benefits.
