Also, sometimes I can't tell if what I'm leaking is excess discharge or urine. If I'm leaking urine, what does that indicate? I do still occasionally feel some discomfort and irritation similar to when I had the UTI, so maybe I still have it? Should I get that checked out? Honestly, anxiety does permeate a lot of areas of my life. However, nothing scares me more than the fear of becoming pregnant. Even the possibility of getting an STD is not nearly as scary to me as an unplanned, unwanted pregnancy. And my family, especially my mom, has said that she will support me no matter what. That's why I don't quite understand where my level of anxiety comes from. I feel that some of it may have to do with my religion. I am Catholic, though in recent years I have struggled with my Catholic faith, identity, and beliefs. One of these things that I struggle with is the notion of abortion. I honestly do not know if I would be strong enough to terminate a child should I become pregnant, but by the same token, I do not know if I would be strong enough to carry the child full-term. I'm worried I would do something drastic, like commit suicide or try to do a self-abortion or something. I don't have suicidal tendencies or anything. I'm just concerned that if I were to become pregnant, I would view suicide as my only option. My fear of that happening to me could be a cause. I also have problems with birth control. My other absolute biggest fear in my life is vomiting/nausea. I had a horrible experience with stomach flu at the age of 12 that resulted in me choking on my own vomit and slamming my head pretty hard against a toilet. This incident traumatized me so badly that now, the thought of being nauseous or vomiting paralyzes me and can cause me to shake uncontrollably in fear. For this reason, I have not wanted to take the pill, because I have heard that it will cause nausea that lasts for months, and I simply cannot endure that. Because I'm afraid of taking the most basic form of birth control, I'm obviously not protected, and therefore I feel like I will become pregnant. I haven't had vaginal intercourse; I have not had direct genital-to-genital contact with my boyfriend; and my boyfriend has never ejaculated in, on, or near my vagina. I know intellectually that for these reasons, it is nearly impossible for me to become pregnant. Yet I still fear that the little things that I've done (touching pre-cum then touching myself, etc) will somehow cause me to become pregnant. [/QB][/QUOTE]
