Holy cow! Who is that clean person? Could that be your clean and pure non-evil twin?
Oh trust me there still was mud you just don't see it. I never feel like unpacking my pack after a race so the dirt kind of just stays there, so when I sweat the dirt on my pack became mud...and it rained my entire 2 miles down from the summit so all the mud was reactivated

I know I made a whole lot of awful choices in August, and have been completely turning that around this month ... But I may already be too late and that's kind of terrifying. I don't want to have a little Sarah, I'm literally terrified right now...

First off, deep breathes. Second are you late enough to take a test? Do not borrow trouble. Usually these tend to end up being just worries and not a true reality. Your under stress and other things that can cause late or missed.

Sorta funny, because my youngest daughter has just been flipping out over the same thing.

Ahhh, I am so glad I am too ok and too fixed for these monthly worries.

Sarah, if worse comes to worse, it will still be okay. You will take it one day at a time, make choices as you go and know you have friends and family there for you.

Just try to relax. I know so easy for me to say. *hugs*

oops! Are you saying that you and the guy you 'admired' got a little close last month? Right, that would be pretty scarey. If it turns out ok, try to remember this terrified feeling the next time you're tempted.

I am turning into such a klutz. :( Today, while babysitting my neighbor's dog, I either tripped or started to trip. It was in the doorway between the kitchen and front room. She has a fan in the middle of the doorway with stuff on the floor to try to step over and around. I knew I was starting to lose balance, so I put out my hands to steady myself. One hand went to the fan. Did I mention the fan's front cover is off? :( Blade meet hand. :( I was very luck just one finger cut up and not bad enough for the eroom. Just going to be a pain to not get it constantly dirty and wet or banging the finger tip (worse damage).

Yes Mike, I am being a big baby again.

It's iffy on being late enough. I'm literally just hoping I'm being stressed and worried. I'm just too terrified to take one especially with the biggest race of my life next weekend, if it's not I'd be less stressed, but if it is... I don't think I could face the mountain with that stress and it's the biggest/most important race of the year.

I've decided if I ever run for political office and hold a rally my theme song will either be My milkshake brings all the boys to the yard or the Emperor's theme from Star Wars

Sarah, you may want to once things are back to "normal" check into birth control to help with some of these anxious times (if you were not already using something). Also helps with worries about other health issues, depending on protection of choice. We want you to be happy and safe from all worries and stress while you are out there discovering who you really are.

Not admired we were just friends with a mutual agreement... And were stupid and not careful a handful of times. Lesson learned on that one, trust me lesson learned. I'm scared enough now, I've learned the lesson, now I'd appreciate it if my body lessened my fear now!

Only you can make that choice. I am just one who has found, as the saying goes, that truth will set you free. The unknown to me has always been the harder option. My mind always makes things so much worse then actual reality.

I'm more of the ignore it it'll go away type person, even if that's not how it works.
I'm terrified of how I'd explain to my parents that their daughter who likes girls got into such a situation. And I'm young and no way could deal with that responsibility nor do I have interest. I'm like seriously on the boarder of mental break, I probably should just take a darn test... But I've never kept good track and I may only be thinking I'm late and actually just be panicking over normal.

stress and worry is deadly a test would answer the question one way or the the other

This is true, but one answer I can handle the other may be the final break that sends me over the edge.
