@PoopityScoopity that's very sad to read 😥 I'm sorry sweetie, in not sure what to say, cause I can't get over the past either. But I think meds, therapy, and good night time routine, are good first steps to start with. Gives you a giant tiny hug ❤❤ we are all here for you ❤
@PoopityScoopity. When I get intrusive thoughts I use grounding techniques to help me settle down a bit. There are different ones that people use some people like to use their senses like naming 5 things that they see in the room, 4 things they hear, 3 things they feel, 2 things they smell and 1 that they taste. I like to take some deep breaths and say affirmations.
Therapy is also a good idea as mentioned by @Tinywhisper11. I did many years of therapy and take medication.
I also had hyper-sexuality when I was younger I dealt with it in therapy. I believe that there are support groups for this as well which may be helpful. I was able to stop at times but would return to unwanted behavior many times. I had to learn to forgive myself keep trying to stop unwanted behaviors.
