Advice please - ridiculously high sex drive

New user here.

I am doing this to cure a depressed libido and a lack of motivation to go out and find a partner. I have got a lot more than I bargained for - I'm determined to stick it out but it's torture at the moment.

I am 12 days in and the last 7 days I literally have not been able to stop thinking about women. It's to such an extent that I haven't got any work done and I think I'm pretty much walking about in a daze fantasising about women ALL day. I've started lusting after my ex-wife (obviously not a good idea!), ex-girlfriend and spent all weekend on Tinder & Bumble. It's so bad that I literally cannot wait to flatline.

Any similar experiences? Tips to cope or reduce these constant feelings? It is taking up every waking moment of every day. I suppose "just wait it out" is the realistic answer but how long can I expect this to last? I exercise quite a lot anyway and will do that every day and planning on cutting out all alcohol as well.

Help!

 

Went for a long run this afternoon and spent the entire time thinking about women - so frustrating .

Came back home, deleted the dating apps and after a while starting to feel a bit better and less obsessed. I really hope it continues - honestly it's been ridiculous but somehow just about holding in there...
