I had an eating disorder for a very long time. Now, 6 months into recovery I am finding that my sex drive is going through the roof. Is this normal?? Also other things like spots is beginning to get me down

Answer
Eating disorders can cause changes in your hormones which can send your sex drive up or down. You're going through a normal recovery process which is trying to regulate your hormones back to normal. If you're finding that your hormones are off balance go see your doctor.
