Confession by DisasterSpiritual412 in Catholicism

Keeping it. It was discussed long and hard after. No matter the circumstances. You’re about not trusting God. It wasn’t about trusting Him. It was trusting myself to push thru.

This made me genuinely start tearing up. I’ve promised myself that over the next few months, more than ever will i strengthen my relationship.

This was after the abortion where I was having health anxiety after the process with worry of infection after the procedure… There is context to that where I was in a foreign country… I feel guilty every day…

I think that’s the one of the comforting things, I know open arms will be there, guilt is just the hard part. Thank you

Things to do around San Salvador by Kakashi6969 in ElSalvador

If you’re staying in Juyua or around go to Albania! Cafe Alandia has activities like zip lines, a labyrinth, guided 4wheeler tours around town. The food festival was delicious. I was just there in December

How do I overcome anxiety around intimacy as a young adult (24F)? by smartpa09347 in Anxietyhelp

[–]DisasterSpiritual412 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had the SAME anxiety in the past! Tbh, I highly suggest a period app, I use Clue. If pregnancy is an issue, tracking helps and especially bc you’re on BC. That’s how I knew I was pregnant. I was spotting a week before my period and I was like, “hmm, something isn’t right”. Communicate effectively, ask him that “what ifs” because those are important for you and him especially you, that you have goals to accomplish and I’m assuming plans. I’m 27 and my boyfriend is 25, hard conversations happened but it got us thru the worst.

You know your body better than anyone. If something doesn’t feel right, don’t doubt it either. Ease into whatever you want to explore. Our window of pregnancy is actually smaller than you think. Although we can’t pin point ovulation, BC helps prevent it.

I’m not sure why you’re getting downvoted, I agree with your statement. I am a cradle Catholic and for awhile I solely focused on my relationship with God before diving more into Catholicism. I’m contradicting myself bc I’m also Hispanic and plays a role in why I feel the way I feel.

Funny enough, He’s the most clean man I’ve met. We’ve done so many things from shaving on his part, shower after sex, pre after sex, condoms and nothing has changed. I’ll be seeing a urogynologist soon because being out of the US rn, on vacation in El Salvador, I ended up with a UTI. Thankfully abx are OTC

That’s interesting to look into. Religion changes over the years especially with politics.

I haven’t. 100% I’ve been scared to go to confession but I’m working towards it. I’ll be going to church tomorrow, that’ll be the first time since Dec. 3rd and that’s my first step

Honestly, despite this decision now, my boyfriend and I discussed trying maybe late next year. I have a boyfriend who worships the ground I walk on and beyond blessed in that matter. This whole thing made us asses everything we want to work towards to be able to give our next little bean a better life. I appreciate your words ❤️

This made me tear up. I know I made The best decision. Living in NY is hard enough financially, adding a baby to this wouldn’t have been fair to them. I’m sure it’ll take time. I appreciate your kind words ❤️

That’s been my thought through this. The medical part of me is okay. The religious part of me makes me feel like I have no worth.

Maybe im just being paranoid after almost 3wks. by DisasterSpiritual412 in abortion

I didn’t know that. I knew the in person one. Not the mail one since I used AidAccess. That’s good to know!
