any chance..?

starting off, i had an awful summer. i ran away from home, made several mistakes and was taken advantage of, having sex with 4 different partners. every since then, even now in december, i go through periods of time of extreme exhaustion, muscle/joint soreness [mostly my back], depression, not wanting to eat, and overall negativity. i don't know if this has anything to do with what happened, but my ignorance has turned into a slight anxiety, and i don't know where else to turn for advice.

i really would appreciate any sort of feedback, or answers. thank you, genuinely.

well if you are in America anything done at the Dr's office is between you and the Dr. You could always find an STD clinic and they keep everything confindential. It might be a good idea to get tested and seek a therapist.

thanks for replying, really.
no, i haven't been tested. but being a teen and wanting to keep it confidential from my family, makes things difficult..

Have you ever tested for stds?  

The symptoms you are describing sound like depression, and not an std, but getting tested is a good idea, and can help ease your mind.

If you aren't in therapy, perhaps that's something you should think about too.

If you don't have insurance, google your town, state and std clinics.  They are either free or very low cost, and there are also mental health clinics that offer sliding fee scales based on income.
