    Basically I got an STI last May and it got so bad that i have to get a few surgeries over the next few months. I'm happy I'm getting it sorted, going for my 1st operation on Thurs.

    Anyway since I've gotten it I feel like I've missed out on so much the last few months. I couldn't really leave the house because my condition got worse and I started to smell bad. Missed out on a lot of college. Also went through a breakup that hit me real hard and haven't been able to move on from the breakup especially since I have been stuck in the house. I'm afraid to date other people because I feel like a bit of a freak with this STI.

    I had so much planned over the passed few months, wanted to get in shape because I'm insecure about my body, wanted to travel, etc. It just feels like everything got turned upside down, when my life was going so well. I don't know why i'm writing this, probably just to get it off my chest.

    If theres anyone with similar experiences out there, I would like to hear. Sorry for the long rant might be a bit confusing to read.

    It's difficult when you have to put plans and actions you've wanted to make on hold for an indefinite amount of time and harder then to put them back in motion. But you will. College you can probably start your course or year from scratch, your body, well, it's still there and you can motivate yourself to get into shape and the world will still be out there waiting for you to travel it.

    Do it all when you're well and ready, and accept that right now, you shouldn't be worrying about or bashing yourself over the head with not being able to do those things you wanted. Concentrate on forming a plan for the future as these are something to look forward to and be positive about.

    As for the end of your relationship, let yourself use this time to grieve it and move on mentally and emotionally. Let yourself heal now in this time, because for the surgeries you'll have to have strength in you for yourself and your family (if they are aware of situation) to get through them and physically heal. Rebuild your confidence in yourself from all that's happened, process it, accept it and move on.
