Unstress help pregnancy scare

When you want support through something scary or rough, and help pulling yourself together and getting through, this is the place.
Forum rules
We ask that users looking for general, ongoing emotional support post in this area of the boards, and that you use this space to both ask for, give and receive that support primarily from each other, rather than from our staff and volunteers. As a staff, we simply are often too overextended with all we need to do in running the organization and its services to do that for extended periods of time, and one of our main aims of our community at the boards has always been to facilitate peers to better be there for each other.

Users often report that they have no in-person peers they can talk to or seek support from: we want this to be a space for online peer support and somewhere everyone can get some practice asking for, getting and giving support so that doing it with people in your lives feels more doable.

Please remember that neither staff, volunteers nor your fellow users can provide or replace mental healthcare when that is something you need. Users struggling with issues like anxiety, depression, abuse or physical health issues are strongly encouraged to seek out qualified, in-person help with those issues in addition to peer or staff support.

Unstress help pregnancy scare

Unread post by Lola2018 »

Hi :)
I know I can’t be pregnant. I asked here and you told me not posible. My period should come tomorrow but for some reason I’m very stressed about it. Like I don’t know why.. can you give me tips to calm down. I can’t by a pregnancy test today because I don’t have time for it.. I’m just worried it won’t come tomorrow and I’ll get more stressed. I already have a lot in my mind to worry more.
Thanks :)

I'd suggest you look at a few things:
• This piece and the anxiety resources in the sidebar: http://www.scarleteen.com/article/etc/anxiety_lies
• And this section of this series: http://www.scarleteen.com/the_pregnancy ... _or_missed
