I recently came of mental health drugs and i am having a sexual breakdown. I am flurting around or rather looking at most people sexually regardless of who they are. I will never rape anyone but feel like i can't control my thoughts and where i look. i suppose i would be ok it i didn't have to go out but its getting embarassing. I have always had a habit of looking at people sexually but this is rediculous. I do have a long term partner but i feel out of control any advice. Oh i can't take meds because i am pregant and took them yesterday but am scared i harm the baby. Apart from this i am not so bad. Has anyone been through this and how did they snap out of it. i feel dirty for my thoughts and try my best to distract myself. Its almost like an obsession. I just want it to stop. Confided in my brother but he hasn't been through this. Oh i am 25 weeks pregnant.

PLEASE HELP.

Just wanted to say hang in there, sounds like alot is going on with you right now. I had a really bad experience coming off anti-depressants and know how creepy that can be. Anti-depressants mess with your sex drive so that may be part of why you feel you are looking at people in a sexual way. Also, you are hormonal because you are expecting and that may also be causing you to look at people in the sexual way you are feeling. Are you dealing with any sex abuse issues? Sometimes they come up at the most inconvenient times. That could also be part of what's going on with you. I've been starting to deal with some sex abuse issues and sometimes I feel like I look at people in a sexual way too. I'm not saying these are why you feel the way you do but maybe. Just wanted to let you know you're not alone, hang in there. Please take good care of yourself, try to get plenty of sleep and eat really well. Oh, and I wanted to add that I have found it helps me alot to journal to get rid of all that stuff. Hope this helps some.......

I am not sure if you are dialing with sexual about in the past.

I good book that may help you is thou shalt not be aware Alice Miller. She describes the history of sexual about and helps understand the feeling that you are having.

Yea that Risperodone you were on is a hardcore med and not good at all if you are pregnant. A lot of people who have gone through sexual abuse may go through a period or even years of hyper-sexual behavior or promiscuity. It can be one one of the many "stages" we go through for a variety of reasons that are personal for each of us. For the safety of yourself and your baby, I'd continue to stay off that med but find someone to talk to if you're not already....a counselor or friend, family member, priest and maybe journaling will help. Try to keep your focus on the child and realize that what you're experiencing is a result of the abuse and not so much who YOU are....make sense?

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
