Hi, I saw some other AMAs on here, so I hope it’s ok to post one too, otherwise I’ll gladly remove it.

I’m a 23yo trans woman and I have Hypersexuality, formerly known as nymphomania. I’m attempting to get an 6C72 Diagnosis under the ICD-11, although it’s unlikely I’ll get one soon.

Hypersexuality combines a high sex drive with a compulsive behavior disorder (to make it clear: high sex drives alone does NOT equal hypersexuality). Due to this, a lot of my life revolves around sex and intimacy. As it’s a disorder, there is also a certain level of distress that comes from it.

Feel free to Ask Me Anything! No questions are off limits! I’ll try to answer everything as soon as possible

    I feel you’re just arguing over semantics. I was clear that I am undiagnosed from the start. What “harmful self treatment” could I possibly do? Have sex? Oh no! If it gives me a solid framework to interpret my own needs and helps life my day-to-day life, I don’t see the issue. I’m also not “acting as an authority”, you’re just pulling things from thin air to try and argue why this is supposedly bad

    That does not mean it is right, or safe, to take matters into your own hands and act like you are capable of doing things people with decades of experience cannot do.

    I’m also self diagnosed with ADHD, because medical professionals literally refuse to even see adults for that. I have self medicated for it before, which saved my life. I wouldn’t be able to fucking talk to you if I hadn’t. What a fucking stupid opinion.

    And you know how I knew I was right about that? Because taking ADHD meds when you don’t have ADHD gives you an experience like ADHD for the duration. If you do have ADHD, it feels like your at peace for the first time on your life. Like all your life was constant TV static and it’s finally calm. So I have actual proof of it without a diagnosis. Which again, saved me from suicide.

    Again: MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS REFUSE TO EVEN SEE ME FOR IT! THEY WILL LITERALLY NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT! HOW DO YOU FUCKING THINK THAT SHOULD BE SOLVED, HUH??? I’M LISTENING FOR SUGGESTIONS
