I think if you like hard enough there is a path that allows you to have your cake and eat it to here - there is generally ways to engage in swinging or permiscuous sexual behaviour and greatly mitigate the risks through taking precautions, seeing a doctor regularly etc. and there is definately no reason that it has to loose the addrenaline rush. I go into bouts of depression semi-regularly (often around winter as many other people do) and I find that breaking the routinue of my day to day schedule is a very good way to do break the depression. I also believe that sometimes in order to achieve something you feel strongly about you need to forgo self-respect, or concern for your safety, etc. etc. but I must stress that is only in exceptional circumstances and obviously can't be a routinue in your life. Your mileage may vary, but I also believe that evolution has made a path for everyone to be happy.
I don't wish to offer any opinion on whether what you did or whether you should seek help because I don't feel qualified but I will say that I have some relatively unusual sexual tastes and I have managed to feel perfectly satisfied so far in a monogamous relationship. Which is not to say that I'm suggesting that a monogamous relationship is the right path for you - only that there is probably a safe path for you to satisfy these desires.
On depression - eat. You won't necessarily feel better but its a strong precursor to getting out of it especially if you eat healthy. Try a banana.
