Hi Dinah,
I'm sure some of it for me is anxiety, but no matter how much xanax I take it does no good. I don't want to go on anything else, so I guess I have to deal with it. Do you have ways of quelling it when it's high?

Well.... yeah. :)
But I haven't thought of any novel alternative solutions.
Sometimes I just live with it without doing anything at all about it.

LOL.....oooohhhh....well I was thinking maybe alternatives. ; ) I've been trying to ignore mine too. I've been taking an herb that's supposed to lower it in women, don't know if it works or not.

I do realize that past a certain point, it's not fun. It's just painful and annoying.
Treating the underlying hypomania and anxiety is another option, and my preferred one.

Yeah, I hear you on that. At the risk of being crude, sometimes I want to try putting xanax where it's not intended to go, just to see if it would help!
Thanks for your reply, I know it's not the easiest topic to discuss.

>ooh my favorite topic! only kidding. oh my god, am i really answering this? hehe..anything for a thrill..umm...gosh, more than i'd like to admit to...whenever i am in a relationship i do it a lot more, and..i am more horny lately, too..so...i guess approximately every other day. and when i get a good vibrator it will probably be every day. it's really quite healthy. although maybe not so healthy to talk about it with god knows how many ppl reading...

how pleasant to see you return.

> Everyday. Once at least. Sometimes twice. I don't think I've done it more than 5 times in one day. Sometimes I might miss a day through just not getting the 'space' that I need to relieve myself. Although that has an added bonus as if I miss oneday - the following I have a more intense time.er yes. i agree. though sometimes i do have a low drive (maybe for a week)... maybe related to that time of the month maybe not. i'm not sure... not sure if thats a lot for a girl either. i'm not on any psych meds if thats got something to do with it lol.

actually I remember reading "Kaplan and Saddock's a brief synopsis of psychiatry" (i'm pretty sure that is it but amazon doesn't like it) and they said that in a psych interview one isn't supposed to ask:
'do you masturbate'
because people tend to deny it.
rather one is best off to ask:
'how often do you masturbate'
because then people tend to tell you.
lol.
my understanding is that it is more unusual not to do it...
but then psych meds have an impact etc.

lol Mine never asked about sex drive or masturbation. I told him, I knew it wasn't right the level of my sex drive and mood with it. Even though it feels great when it happens. Unfortunately when the high wheres off, i'm left extreamly low inall area's too...until the next time.
Very annoying to say the least when the feelings can be spread out by months (for having a low drive) Things seem to be more in moderation though now at the moment.

this is an excellent topic, i masturbate every day, even while in a relationship, i have ocd, which could be part of the obsession to do it,
[who cares, right?] but for me it is a great stress reducer and i can't remember ever not doing it, [unless my "zac' levels where high, lol]
I feel less stressed just talking about it, rt. on verne...john

you just can't get away from politics, can you lol?:) even the subject of masturbation cannot distract you! AMAZING! :-)

hmm..i'm the secret-spilling type...interesting. and i won't ask you to elaborate on the end there..seems like a bit of a play on words to me.:) clever. mind-boggling if you really break it down..:)
