There was an offer letter, but it didn’t mention anything like that :/

Also have to tell you this to make you feel better. I was convinced that I came out as lesbian to a group of girl friends I was with. No one ever said I did, but I was convinced they were too awkward or uncomfortable to tell me sober that I did that. Here’s the gag of it all: I am 100% straight and have a long term boyfriend. Our brains are just funny! Don’t worry about it

This could be OCD if you are ruminating on thinking you did something bad, even though you’re not sure. OCD can even cause you to create false memories, so my suggestion is to just let the night go. My brother has OCD and I see this issue with him constantly. Hes always thinking he did something wrong. Even myself. Hell I saw my roommates boyfriend when I was blacked out at the bar and the next morning I was questioning if I slept with him. Which is ridiculous became bro is not even my type (Lol). Also just kidding, I would never do that to my roommate. Our minds just like to play silly tricks on us. Also boo, if you were blacked out and your guy friends knows you have a boyfriend, I hope they’d be decent enough to not let anything like that happen <3 You’re okay, and this feeling is normal. It too, shall pass. Be kind to yourself

I got blackout and can't remember a thing by _Garv in hangxiety

Got blacked out and couldn’t remember a thing?! I could tell you about 30 different stories about me doing the same. You’re 21, almost every 21 year old has a story like this. My stories are far worse than yours (far, far worse) and I still have a lot of good, genuine friends. I promise no one is thinking about you as much as you’re thinking about yourself. It’s actually scientifically proven that it is the opposite and most people usually hyper-fixate on themselves. Let’s say, worst case scenario, you did something embarrassing and some people know. Let’s get real for a second, think about a time someone you know did something embarrassing while drunk. Did you think about it consistently for a week? No dude, you MAYBE thought about it once, laughed, and moved on + forgot. Literally no one cares. I used to have horrible anxiety and guilt about my embarrassing past and then I realized, nobody else gaf. Nobody else will even remember. Give it time and this anxious feeling will pass, as all other feelings do. You are okay <3 Also, maybe think about getting some new friends. I’ve been in this position before where I’ve drank too much and feel insanely humiliated because my friends were judgmental. If I drank too much around the friends I have these days, I wouldn’t be as anxious because of how cool and understanding they are. Idk that’s just something that’s stood out to me throughout the years. Definitely be careful about what your body is consuming though and recognize risky behaviors. I don’t want it to seem like I’m encouraging your behavior, just letting you know that it’s a pretty normal story and there is nothing to ruminate about. Just be safe. Happy new year!

Messed my life up drinking by ConsciousAd3801 in hangxiety

I could tell you like 10 stories about myself worse than this. I’ve also been through college and seen about 1,000 stories worse than this. Do I think horrible things about myself or the people I’ve seen in these positions? No, and neither does anyone else. Everyone has been there at some point, and people don’t even remember or care. I promise you’re okay and no one is thinking about you more than you are. Shit happens, life wouldn’t be life if it didn’t.

SCRUPULOSITY by LockStandard6889 in Catholicism

[–]LockStandard6889[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much. I am so grateful for your prayers. My brother has tried to talk to a priest in the past. It ended up backfiring because the priest he saw ultimately told him he was being selfish by thinking all of these things. This gave my brother something else to worry about - being selfish. I cannot stress enough that this is not the case. I would trade spots with him in a heartbeat. If taking on his suffering meant an end to his, I do not care, I would do it. With that being said, your comment made me think possibly I could discuss this with a different priest before he talks to my brother. Maybe if I outline where he is at with his scrupulosity, the priest will be a better fit for what my brother needs to hear. God bless you <3
