i was diagnost 2 years ago. funny thing was, i was on holiday from school. for some reason, i saw a card of free testing. something told me to go and check, do i did. it was the first time and only time i got check. i was thinking to myself, that it would be negative.
The nurse was a nice guy a few years older than me. he was talking about what i would do if i was positive if suicide was something i was thinking of, ijust pushed it off, because killing myself was so far out there. i had a future that was waiting to come. the the result came, i was shocked. it was positive. i felt void of feeling, just empty. the test was done 2 times infront of me, but still it was the same result.
the thing is, i'm a nurse. or at the time a student nurse. i was thinking of maybe helping people. but now here i was a patient that i myself wanted to help.
after the test the nurse gave me a number, and told me to meet him again for a more extensive work up. after leaving the building, i wandered aimslessly. there was a parknear by thatwas near my old primary school. i just wandered.
that was 2-3 years ago. just this year, i graduate as a nurse, but was severily thin and sick. after the extensive 2 years back, i left the country to study again, cramingmyself in school. gettting stressed and sick, thinking it would take 10 years give or take for me to get sick. i was sorely mistaken.
i am better now, and about to get the results of my licensure exam as a nurse. my parents know about me. my mother is supportive. my father when i was in the hosipital recovering, he was the one who help me to shower, dried me and etc. me feeling like i was a baby again.
but even though i am better now, for some reason i can feel my father's disappointment. i am bi/gay (not sure) and am also the eldest. i am christain. i don't want to be gay/bi. i want to have a family. i want to have a normal life. i don't know why i like guys, i used to like girls.
for whoever is reading this, i'm just venting. i've signup for this site 2 years ago. funny why i've only used it now……..
