My father recently passed away and I have been experiencing many changes, people say from stress. I was wondering if stress could make you want sex more. I know stress and depression can lower your sex drive but mine has risen and I have no idea the cause! I feel like an addict....please help!

Hi there. It could be that when you are feeling this way, it's the stress and anxiety of losing your father, manifesting itself as an urge to have sex. It can feel the same way.
It could even be a physical state of emotional overwhelm.
You have lost someone very close to you - your dad - and now you have to re-establish your life without him, and find out who you are.
It's a process, and it's a big one.
For goodness sake whatever you do, don't go out and look for some guy to have sex with, simply to satisfy this urge. Don't go down that path.
What could be helpful to you is whenever you feel these extreme feelings of what you believe is the urge to have sex, instead, go outside into the fresh air and go for a nice long walk. Say for about 30 minutes at the very least, or maybe even 1 hour.
Walking is a fantastic stress reliever, it really is.
And you will probably find that while you are walking along, many thoughts will freely come into your mind about your life. It's quite amazing, the ideas that come up sometimes.
I walk regularly, simply for exercise.
Sometimes when I walk, no particular thoughts or ideas come to mind. Yet on other walks, there's this incredible flow of thoughts and ideas, that seem to have no end. It's really quite incredible!
I have solved many problems in my life, whilst walking.
And an additional thing to walking, is to keep a journal of your thoughts, emotions and ideas. An exercise book will do.
You don't have to write into it every day, just when you have some thoughts you would like to record. And when you do need to write into your book, just write down exactly what is going through your head at that time, and keep writing until the thought flow stops.
Also at the start of each thought recording, write the day and date, so when you look back, you will know what day those thoughts and ideas were.
It's like keeping a diary, only you are writing thoughts, ideas and emotions - not specific events only.
When you get into the habit of doing this, you'll find it does help clarify things to you.
And it also helps you get in touch with your intuition, which holds the clues to everything that happens in your life. You will be surprised.
Please give it a go. I honestly believe it could make the world of difference.
