This is my first post and to begin, I'd like to say thank you to each and every one of you that seeks, that reaches out, that tries to to help. This society seems to be inclined to ignore, to push under the rug, these issues we all face, whether disordered or not. I've been actively searching through and reading many valuable posts on this site. I have learned a lot. I am grateful. Again, ...

My mom is a muncher and subjected me to her abuse for years. She's a master at manipulating others into seeing things her way, of hiding the truth, of avoiding responsibility, etc. I'm not going to go into all her faults or this is going to turn into a rant about everything I hate about her and it'll be too long of a post.

We've been mostly estranged for a few years. I can't deal ...

So, here's the thing. I'm clinically depressed. I'm on Zoloft, but that only really helps with the rather bad anxiety I have, not the depression. For as long as I can remember, I've really only had two moods, one of apathy and complete emptiness, and one of depression.

I found my self almost laughing in this guys face in a night club and ive done it to a girl before. The way I view things things as ive done better than the girl that I was talking to and thought to myself "hey i'm rich, was the life of the party, and am attractive. Shes lucky to grace my presence."

I am pretty sure that i have an uncontrollable sex addiction. My questions are: Is there a support group of people in the Los Angeles area that actively tackle this issue together and actually meet and in person and help each other out? If i was to go get professional help, is there a free help or do i have to pay an arm and a leg to get help?

So I don't really know where to start or what I am really looking to accomplish from this post.
also thank you to anyone / everyone who takes the time to read this
