Back in August I made a terrible mistake and slept with someone outside of my marriage while extremely drunk. . . .

I felt complete and total guilt. I got myself to a priest and confessed but it has been a complete mess ever since. I got STD tested a few weeks after the incident and everything came back negative except the herpes simplex 2 virus results which gave them a false positive. These blood test are notorious for these types of results and I was advised against taking this again by my regular doctor. She told me if I had an outbreak that I should then come to the dr and have that swabbed and that would give me an actual accurate result. I’ve been living in anxiety though I know Jesus has forgiven me. I have not told my husband and I have not slept with him in months as I wanted to be sure that all was okay as far as STD’s go. Things are most definitely not all okay. In the past two months I have decided I will never drink again, . . .

I’ve been in such despair. I’ve been praying the rosary and trying so very hard to pray that things will be okay. . . .

I’m begging if you could please pray for me, my husband, and our child. I know the Dr. is saying he doesn’t think it is but I just have this horrible feeling that it very well could be. I struggle with debilitating depression and anxiety on the regular and I am so regretful of this horrible decision I made. I know my husband will stay with me no matter what which makes me even guiltier. He is an incredibly good man and will stand by me no matter what. I just don’t know what else I can do. I’m trying to right my wrongs but I’ve gotten myself in a hole that I can’t get out of. Please pray that all is negative and I can move on and better our lives in every way possible for the Lord.
