First Step I guess
Posted On 06/19/2009 14:35:51 by Jennyjen

Well well, where do I start......I have recently committed to the 12 steps, and currently I am on the first.  I know that I have a problem with sex addiction.  I am really pissed off. I went to a therapist yesterday and after a 20 minute evaluation, she says: I think you have bipolar.....well, I know I dont have that-my moods are very stable and dont fluctuate.  I have nothing against people that have that of course, but I know that I do not.  I know I am a sex/love addict-I brought it up to her and she brought up medication for bipolar????  Ummm, no.  I cant stand when therapists immediately go to medication.  I dont need medication, I need the 12 steps.  I brought up LSAA-she was like..."you dont need it..."  ummm....ok cuz last I checked I have never been faithful to anyone....and it IS a problem and feel like I am powerless to it.... How can someone tell me in 20 minutes something like that????? I am annoyed!

the manic phase of bipolar looks alot like addiction compulsion...the trick is to figure out the MOTIVATION BEHIND the behavior...she obviously thought you were fine by your answers to her questions....the meds affect the same reward passage ways as the addiction high- so it was worth a shot....I'm just a franchise owner, but she was doin her best with what she had- forgive her!
