Q: Anxiety Or Reality?

Hey everyone, i'm a 27 year old gay male and recently i've been very anxious about something...About a month or so ago, I had unprotected sex (for the first time) with someone i've known and loved for about a year. But for some reason, the whole thing seemed odd to me afterwards and I started getting nervous. Just recently I looked up symptoms and I noticed I have some of them. I haven't been test since the night, but he told me he was negative and I thought I knew it was true. I mean, I didn't think he'd lie to me...Anyway, I have been really restless and tired, and i've had diarrhea. But the thing about the diarrhea is that I also became a vegetarian recently and that definitely effects my bowel movements. And today I felt my glands, and they're swollen. I am getting so nervous and anxious, and I know I need to take the test, but the thing is..I'm too scared to because I feel like with me knowing these symptoms I know what the answer is. Is it anxiety because i've been worrying about it since that night, or do you think I could be infected? Please help me, i'm on the verge of a nervous breakdown

hi I hope i'm doing this right. This is my firt time i'm replying. Dont get nervouse, but people lie and being you are gay that does make the matter worse. What I mean is you haev a higher risk. My opinion of what yiur going through is just from stress and anxiety. Let me tell you I was daying a guy and around that time I developed anxiety attacks but not knowing they were anxiety attacks. One day I had the shits so bad I was shitting water out y ass. I was scared and crying. Ever since that I had went to the doctor. He diagnosed me with ibs irritable boul syndrome. I wasnt faithful to taking my pills and yet I had gomne to the city with him and came back with another episode of me on th shitter. Over time it just turned out to be nervous. I had gone through a life trauma through it all and I was the one making myself caca like that from being so nervouse. I would even take immodium befor work afraid I was going to caca, but worrrying about shitting made me caca. So you need to just relax, and find a place that makes you calm either in your mind or an actual place. I have a place and its the beach, dont laugh,but i've never been to one so I dream about it. Thats what calms me down. I hope this helped cause it helped me that an a few doses of xanex. Good luck!

Honestly, get a hold of yourself, get a test, stop worrying, put your mind at ease. Do you want to live? Or just make your life miserable?

to Answer Your Question!
Reality!

Welcome to reality!

You now need an hiv test. So go and get it. Chances are that you'll be fine, but don't act shocked or surprised. This doesn't mean you have hiv, but you need to deal with the matter as an adult and refrain from any sexual contact which is unprotected, period. Your body does have a magical way of creating symptoms, but you chose reality.

So go and be real!

Write me back, or im me if things get worse. I'll tell you what I know and will help you out.
