"ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder) is a highly comorbid disorder with hypersexuality: up to 67% of individuals with hypersexuality [or sexual addiction] reported some patterns of ADHD in prior studies." (https://www.psypost.org/2019/07/study-adult-adhd-symptoms-play-important-role-in-hypersexuality-and-problematic-pornography-use-53995)
The solution for the former can be the solution for the latter as well. "Tips for Managing Adult ADHD" will tell you things sexual addicts can benefit from.
How do you know if you have mild or moderate ADHD? This ADHD Test will tell you.
How on earth did I became aware? I wasn't until now.
I was looking to up my journaling offline when the Bullet Journaling of Ryder Carroll, who has ADHD, caught my attention. Can I really have some sort of even mild ADHD since I really can't calendar and plan, I asked myself. Well, the test told me I have moderate ADHD, worse than mild.
Let me tell my short story. As a child I use to bump my front head because it's too painful or I'm too anxious (now I know I have headache caused by neurological condition). I don't know why I do that. But ADHD causes gives me clues. I have a cigarette addict father. My mother drinks. Chemical playing could've exacerbated it. Now I find myself really incapable of planning/calendaring, has low frustration tolerance, can't easily organize, etc. But what I found out earlier was that sexual addicts have damaged prefrontal cortex, disabling my setting and achieving goals or executive functioning, a condition that is affirmed by my meandering career situation. Compared to my colleagues, I really feel that there's something wrong with me. I don't mean to point this to play the blame game to excuse myself, but to capacitate myself to add the ADHD's coping mechanism to enable myself. My sexual addiction could have not evolved this far if not for an unknown neurological damage in me.
Holy Mary, health of the sick, pray for us, sinners!
