I'm bipolar, at first I was misdiagnosed with depression and anxiety. Right now I am dealing with major hypersexuality, it consumes me. My wife is super supportive dispite recently being caught talking and sexting other women. I want to have sex ALL the time, although we don't, but I feel like my wife feels like it's a chore at this point. Porn and "taking care of myself" does not help but for a half hour or so. Even after sex I don't feel better, just mild relief if that. I just can't stop myself and I don't want to hurt my wife. But that is inevitable at this point as I can't stop.

I am on antidepressants and mood stabilizers.

As much as I want to be "normal" I don't want it to go away as I enjoy it to much.

What do I do?

Most of us can't take anti depressant's as they tend to make people with bipolar too high... It sounds like you might be on the high side now??
I would make an appt with your psychiatrist to review the meds you're on John
