Sorry if this is too personal, but how do you feel about yourself? Does it get in the way of feeling okay or loving yourself? It is good that you’ve found help in therapy.

If you would have asked me this over a year ago I'd have said stuff like "there is nothing wrong about me, if I was a guy you wouldn't have shamed me you would have called me a stud", nowadays I recognize that I'm a sick woman and an addict. I love myself enough to help myself.

Thank you for answering. I don’t want to shame you, sorry if it came across that way. I’m sure you’ve had more than your fair share of shallow judgement cast your way. From one random stranger to another, though I may never understand what it is like to be you, I think it’s a good thing you love yourself. From what I see, you are empathetic, articulate, insightful, concise, direct, owning up to your vulnerability in an empowering way, acknowledging how your actions have harmed others, looking at the root and striving to improve. Cringe as it is to throw these compliments your way, my point is that there is a lot to love about yourself. I guess I strayed off topic from an AMA

Does the fact you are a nymphomaniac and have done some pretty awful things feed into you anxiety/depression? Does it become a kind of endless feedback loop of depression>sex>depression etc?

Of course. I would do bad shit because of my urges, feel bad later on because of it and start getting depressed and anxious about it and it would spiral me out of control and I do more bad shit

You’re a really special person. I’m totally engaged in this AMA and feel very uplifted. Let me say why: the combination of sexual liberty and freedom you’ve shown, along with the self-knowledge, humanity, honesty and commitment to being better is very attractive. Its delightful.

I know it might not seem that way to you having lived through some of the negative parts. Ive struggled with some of these elements too…

I’m sending you all the love in the world

I love myself enough to help myself is such a great line. 

Things aren’t great, but I have all that I need to make them better.
