Im So worried about having a disease...

[gemma90]

Hi

I have had anxiety for a long time, been a user here before but forgot my login details.

I slept with someone about 3-4 months ago, never really spoke to him, but in the last few weeks we have got back in touch through mutual friends.

I would never go back for a sexual relationship he is a friend now but Im so worried I caught something off him,

We were talking tonight and he said he has had a lot of unprotected sex, and im worried I have HIV/Aids or something.

Please help me im sick with worry and my anxiety has come flooding back.

Welcome back!

1st relax; you're probably fine. Go get tested just to ease your mind.
Then, stop having unprotected sex, or better yet casual sex.

Sometimes we create our own anxiety by our choices so reflect on what is going in in your life and get rid of the behavior that causes anxiety and introduce positive things in your life!

But, now you can't dwell on the "what Ifs" they'll drive you nuts, instead focus on bettering yourself , get exercise, practice yoga, center yourself again.

And hang in there...you'll be okay.
