I made a huge mistake that could have some serious conceques
Question Posted Wednesday February 21 2007, 8:53 pm
Sorry if this isn't in the right category. I wasn't quite sure which one to put it in.
Okay so here's the deal. I got in a huge fight with my dad (we always fight and he's an alcoholic) right before going to my friend's party. Well, everybody knows what happens at highschoool parties: everybody get's drunk and whatever. Well, I was really upset about the fight I got into with my dad and at the party i decided to drink A LOT(which isn't good because the whole reason why I was drinking was to forget about my alcoholic dad and I don't want to turn out like him) and i usually don't drink too much at parties, maybe get a little tipsy but never over the top piss drunk. Well, this time I did. I passed out on the couch not too far into the night and woke up the next morning naked on the floor with my clothes scattered around the house. I don't remember what happened, what I did, what I didn't do, and I'm SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO scared that something could have happened. This is a huge problem because there are so many things that could happen. I could've had sex with somebody and gotten pregnant or have an STD or something. I don't know.... And if something happened things with my boyfriend are shot to hell which REALLY isn't good because he's the only person i can talk to about anything and I love him and I don't want to lose him... I wish I could take back that night. I don't know what to do. This stress is killing me. HELP.

You need to stop drinking because not only do you NOT want to be like your dad, but you don't want to mess up your health. But drinking can also screw up your future as well. Immediately, you need to go to the doctor, because they can test you and see if you have been having sex. It's much less embarassing than asking around for which guys fucked you the night before. Sorry for swearing I rarely do, but sometimes it just slips off the keyboard... lol.
Anyway,
In the meantime, try to get in less fights with your dad, avoid them at all costs and maybe try to get through to him when you're talking to him but only make small talk if necessary when he's drunk. Anyways, the possibilities are endless of what you were doing out that night, but I advise you not to dwell on them because you'll only waist your time giving yourself an ulcer.
Sorry if I came on a little rude, just trying to get my point across.
Good luck witht the situation, hope I helped!

You may very well have been raped. Did you wake up in any pain? If you were a virgin and felt no pain, I would be inclined to doubt that anything of that sort happened, but regardless, waking up without your clothes is an indication of something that perhaps went very wrong.
This is a tough, tough lesson. Don't be too hard on yourself. Don't let it happen again, but take care of yourself. Your doctor can tell you what action you need to take aside from STD tests, and possibly a pregnancy test. He or she can also suggest therapy, if he/she thinks it's a good idea.
I think you need to be honest with your boyfriend. Ultimately that much is up to you, but chances are good that he'll find out eventually anyway.
I'm sorry you're going through this. I hope you can get the medical help you need, and if that involves counselling, please go into it with an open mind.
Rosalina answered Wednesday February 21 2007, 9:40 pm: Wow. This is really serious.
Well, firstly, make up with your dad. Even if its just a band aid fix, make up. Trust me.
Then, go get tested. STDs are best treated early, and if you don't want a baby the sooner you know the better.
As soon as you know, go talk to him. Tell him that you got hammered because of your stress, and you're worried that you've been raped.
I don't know if this will help you, but I hope so.
