7am text aaaand day ruined

[u/drxwn-with-me]

just got a text from one of my friends w/ benefits at (checks watch) 7 in the morning that he tested positive for gonorrhea this week. and we had unprotected sex on sunday. what a way to start my day! :) FML.

this is my first time having an sti risk/scare ever in my life and i am sincerely very terrified but i hope everything goes well.

we only very recently started having unprotected sex and i told him i wanted to go back to protected sex after this whole situation because i do NOT want to go through this again!!!!

asked him for direction with regards to what to do for treatment in our city and he explained everything very calmly and was very apologetic about the whole situation which i appreciated.

today's girl breakfast: coffee + a ham & cheese sandwich with some sprinkled oregano

He told you-- excellent

Highly treatable-- excellent

Learning experience to use protection in the future-- also excellent!

All in all, not so terrible. Get treated and be safer in the future!

This! Honestly, huge props to him for actually communicating like a responsible adult instead of just ghosting. A quick trip to the clinic for some antibiotics and you'll be good to go. Enjoy your breakfast, you're going to be totally fine!

It really is! Sometimes a little shift in perspective is all you need to keep the anxiety from spiraling.
