Self Closing Door?

Recently i noticed that my driver side door doesnt stay open anymore. When you open it, it always swings shut... I have to like throw myself in the car now to avoid the door hitting me or my shin.. Somehow, even when on a slight incline, it seems to slam shut, sometimes enough to fully close the door. On its own! So yea, the door is moving a little fast, on its own.. What is causing this..? Is there a joint that needs to be replaced?
