Thanks ramsea and the sobriety actually feels good. I never thought I'd ever say that! And I know that ultimately I am just going to be better and healthier.
I didn't realize that prolonged alcohol usage could do thse things but I guess it's possible in some individuals. I think I mentioned that I was hypersexed when manic...and probably in a mixed state too--I could never figure out how, sometimes I would feel sexual when depressed and other times I wouldn't. I think the answer lies in the low depressed with no mania vs. being in those crazy mixed states.
I had assumed that since my mania is pretty much in check these days, that was the reason for the blundint of my sexual drive. Interesting to note that it might be something else.
Perhaps I should look into some assistance directly relating to alcohol recovery etc... I don't know what my doctor would say about this... He's usually a pretty good guy and open to my suggestions about meds and such... Maybe it's just my current mental state (anxiety etc...) that is clouding my judgement and making me feel trepidatious.
