im 22. i want to start having sex but its complicated by my dependency on my parents. im on their insurance so i would have to tell them what i was regularly going to the doctor for. im pretty paranoid about the health side of things so bare minimum i would want to do std testing yearly. i know that technically i don’t have to tell them but i do because of our relationship dynamic.

has anyone else dealt with something similar? how do you power through the embarrassment of telling them?

generally making decent progress on getting out more but the sleep beforehand is not good. I sleep like shit whenever I have places to be the next day. got about 4 hours of sleep. I don’t want to go back to sleep since today is actually important but it’s going to be a long day.

tentative plan is to ideally be on the way back home before 2pm.

mentally I feel ok which is great news. physically my upper back has hurt since yesterday, not sure what that’s about. my mattress is worn and I have terrible posture so it could be that. I was hoping it would magically go away today but no such luck.

anyways im hungry and wasting time so I better get out of bed. 😔🫡
