Journal Entry for June 28, 2007 Mood
Thursday, June 28, 2007
I had a pretty difficult day today.  This afternoon I kinda freaked out.  I have never gone in and got tested for STD's or pregnancy since the rape.  Every once in awhile I start to really worry about that especially being pregnant.  I don't really have signs of being pregnant but I still worry about it a lot.  One thing that I'm a little confused about is that I have gained a little weight since the rape and some of it is in my stomach.  Which is a little weird for me.  However, I do remember starting to gain a tiny bit of weight in my stomach before the rape.  So I guess maybe it is just cause I have been eating a lot for comfort.  Anyways, today I totally freaked out thinking I was pregnant so I decided to go somewhere where I could walk in and get a test.  I had to wait a long time but I got one and I also got tested for STD's.  My pregnancy test came back negative.  I wont know my other results for a little while.  I also made an appointment to have my "yearly" test done.  I need that too.  I'm glad I went I feel better.  I also want to go to see a therapist.  I think that will help me too.  I just need to get the courage up to do that.  I just hope I don't have to freak out to do that.

    I completely understand your fear. I hope that you are able to get your results soon. There is nothing that I can just say to make you feel better. God, I wish there were. I am here and if you have questions feel free to ask. If it helps the pressure lessons over time. Hang in there. SA

    Hi Marissa, I totally understand what you're going through. I ended up going to the doctor a few days after my rape because I had a high fever (over 101) and thought I was getting sick. Turned out it was just the stress of everything I was going through that made me sick. Anyways, when I was at the doctor, I broke down and told her what happened and that I was scared I could be pregnant. She YELLED at me that I should be more worried about STDs! My thought process was if I was pregnant, it would affect another human being but if it was STDs it would just affect me. Thankfully I was neither (and I retested for everything a few years later since AIDS doesn't always show up right away and still nothing thankfully) but I couldn't believe the way that doctor treated me. Anyways, I'm so glad for you that you're not pregnant since I can tell you didn't want to be just like I didn't. I will pray that all of your tests come back fine. Hang in there....I know the waiting part sucks. I'm here if you need to talk. *hugs* Angie
