I was trying to pay for this today but I’ve been having trouble as it keeps saying there’s an error. this is for the class that I was initially enrolled in for the summer but dropped out.
update: i found my issue and was finally able to pay for this thank you for the help.
I’ve been diagnosed with GAD two years prior and suspected that I had anxiety since I was younger… but now it’s manifesting into full blown routines of me doing frequent google searches, physically checking myself in the mirror, ruminating about infections and convinced that I have one, going to dr visits to get tests done frequently for said infections, etc… all of which i told my therapist about and she suspected that these symptoms are related to OCD. It’s gotten pretty severely bad now to the point it’s starting to affect my school work and job and affecting some of my friendships because I constantly talk about this issue all the time, to where I now likely need to go on medication.
I had an appointment with a psychiatrist that I saw today and told them about these things + of what my therapist has said and he told me that it could just be untreated GAD and that OCD falls under the anxiety disorder. I was confused, and to be honest, pretty frustrated and scared as a worry that I was holding days prior of actually not being diagnosed with OCD came true, so my mind became unregulated during the appointment. he was listing examples of compulsions and things that I can relate to that I have been having that we’re clearly OCD related to GAD. I just felt pretty stressed out. I’m so confused, so all this time it’s just GAD? What’s going on? Am I just making things up in my head? He said that all these obsessions are mainly anxiety driven, that ocd typically isn’t manifested in anxiety all the time.
Should I get a second opinion?
mind you i haven’t been sexually active with anybody since, and im definitely not ready to do it again. just the memory and the way i was treated during and after left me pretty scarred that i began to feel gross about myself since i had to go through multiple dr visits since.
(f22) have been experiencing what i feel are abnormal light periods for the past six months but heavy cramping. usually, the flow is a little bit on the heavier side but not extreme where i bleed through my clothes or sheets. the first time it happened was in january, but I’ve chalked it up to stress. then february, my periods only lasted for two days and only streaks of blood appeared on my pad. from march to july, it’s kind of been like that since. i brought this up to my gynecologist about this issue and how this started just this year, despite the cramps. pretty much told me it’s just my period regulating itself. i was ordered lab results and they came back normal, there’s this one test however called 17-Hydroxypregnenolone that was nine NG/DL above the standard. they also ordered an ultrasound and said that my uterus and and ovaries appear to be fine.
one thing that stood out to me was that the endometrial lining was 7mm and i’ve done research about it, apparently it’s thinner than normal on top of me getting my period within the few days.
I don’t know if that’s normal, and I really don’t want to message this to gyno as i’ve been brushed off for other reasons previously, which really made me upset and felt like I was looked as some sort of hypochondriac. i did go under a lot of stress this year so i’m not sure if there’s a correlation between the endometrial lining being thin and stress but it wouldn’t be unrealistic if that was possible. would appreciate the feedback, thanks.

I dealt with a glabrata yeast infection and BV this year, had visited my gyno multiple times right after for PCR swabs and they came back negative for BV and yeast ever since. I've managed to buy an evvy test and here's my results:
Lactobacillus gasseri
83.53%
Corynebacterium coyleae
4.88%
Lactobacillus paragasseri
3.72%
Lactobacillus crispatus
3.08%
Corynebacterium amycolatum
2.12%
Corynebacterium
1.58%
Lactobacillus jensenii
1.1%
i'm mainly lacto dominant so i think that's a good thing, my protective score is 91%, but i have no clue what cornyebacterium is. does that mean I still have an infection? I got an evvy coach helping me out tmrw but I'd like to know a little about this beforehand.

i feel like this is probably not a common theme to have and it makes me feel abnormal for having to ask this question. im not trying to make this a joke at all . i’ve been newly diagnosed with OCD just this past month due to prior episodes, but my main episode all throughout this year is mainly focused on my smell down there ever since i had dealt with what i felt was a pretty sexual traumatic experience that i had developed BV and reoccurring yeast infections (that were azole resistant) at the same time. the mental aspect is what’s more painful than the symptoms themselves. it makes me feel like a disgusting bug.
drs say im cured now and that im “normal” yet im convinced thats definitely the opposite and that i still smell or the tests weren’t accurate and so anything thats off, whether the smell triggers me to schedule multiple dr appointments just to shrug their shoulders and say “we didnt find anything”. the smell and the discharge is all i think about. ive been frequently checking myself through the mirror to see if anything is off even though most of the time theres not. but its definitely made me feel insecure about myself or that apart of me is “defective”. like i dont think i can let another person touch me ever again. please so help me god somebody resonate with this because i definitely feel alone in this situation.
had a yeast infection earlier this year that came back positive for candida glabrata. was first given two doses of diflucan by my school’s health center, none of them relieved any symptoms besides exacerbating them more and it caused more inflammation. eventually saw a gyn at my provider place instead and went forward onto prescribing boric acid for 21 days. once that was completed however, i was experiencing thick yellow-green tint like discharge with malodor instead. the gyn that i saw who prescribed me the boric acid squeezed me in and decided to do a wet prep and examine it under a microscope herself and found out i had bv. i believe there was an overlap of bv and yeast that i was having since jan. no signs of yeast were shown, however. i was prescribed to take flagyl for a week and that pretty much eliminated the symptoms at first.
however, after my period, the symptoms returned and i’m still in exhaustion about this. i went back to the gyn today and brought up my concern of this symptoms and i wanted to order tests for ureplasma and mycoplasma to make sure im cleared for those. also, on top of my period lessening throughout each month that im not bleeding as much as i used to be. i ordered a hormone test to see if there’s anything going on. i explained to her about the discharge and the odor, i was kind of met with “well that’s probably normal” and i told her im aware of what my natural smell is like, this one is pretty foul for me ever since January. “well maybe you’re getting older”. i told her my scent did not smell like that a month before i had glabrata and bv. repeated the wet prep again and examined it under a microscope, and it came back with few clue cells appearing but that “it’s normal”.
i basically felt pretty unsatisfied that i wasn’t being taken seriously despite her ordering the tests for me. i don’t know if im overreacting. but i’ve just been feeling like shit all day because i know there’s something going on despite what these drs are saying to me. like it feels weird for me to feel hurt because she actually was helpful on a lot of things, but i’m basically returning once these symptoms return that i feel like im getting difficult for them to treat. she suggested that at this point she might have to refer me to an infectious disease dr. because she doesn’t know what to do if these infections are recurrent.
i’ve tried talking to my mom about this and she insinuated that there’s something mentally wrong with me if the drs can’t even find out what’s happening. that felt pretty bad. i feel like im becoming a burden onto people and cant express how i feel without them getting tired. like i just need somebody to understand how im feeling and not tell me that im crazy or that theres something mentally wrong with me because im having chronic health issues.
what i’ve done was basically my entire fault for letting this happened, had i not put myself in this situation. unfortunately i’m dealing with an ex at work who basically withhold serious information in regards of std’s that could’ve put my health at risk, along with other factors that has impacted my mental health. i broke it off with him in February due to these issues, and i felt like the relationship was draining me. i will admit that i tried to be friends with him right after only because he asked me to and i thought it would lessen the tension between each other at work. i decided to distance myself once i realized being friends with him was stagnating my progress on healing from the breakup and getting me nowhere, only for him to try to reach out to me on two different phone numbers (he stopped when i asked him to). found out recently from an ex girlfriend he has a past history of assault which made me want to ask for transfer. tried looking for applications in the desired location, but they were closed. still wanted to tell my manager about what happened between us, that i didn’t feel comfortable working with him (didn’t mention to them what the ex said about the assault or abuse), and they said they’ll talk to him. that didn’t work out, however. now he’s mad, and i feel like i shouldn’t have spoken out in the first place because i basically feel like i put my job in jeopardy. i’m kind of scared about what he’ll do, tbh. i called out due to illness, and also i’ll admit im scared of facing repercussions from speaking out. these past days feel so good getting away from that job and him, but i have to clock in tmrw. i have an appt at my work source already set up next month to get another job, don’t know how long the process will take, but my friends and pretty much everyone around me says i should quit. i believe i have enough money saved up. before anyone says, yes i own up to my mistake and learned that dating a coworker, a rule that i thought i would stick to years ago, is never a good idea. however, i don’t think working there any longer will add any benefit for my mental health. if i were to put my two weeks in, i would probably want to do it before school starts, so in late july or early august.
i was in an emotionally taxing relationship for three months due to him breaking my trust multiple times because he lied/withhold information that could’ve put my health at risk. a week prior before the incident he essentially stated that he hooked up with somebody back in 2023 and they didn’t use any protection…. came to find out that about a month later she ended up being pregnant and immediately blocked her on various forms for her to reach contact. he still does not know to this day whether he’s the father, but he has sent me screenshots - however dates and times of when they first started talking to the last date they were last in touch was not shown. i feel like he did this on purpose because it’s possible deep down he knows the kid is his - and from the screenshots she was trying to ask if they could maybe see each other again and talk but he refused. this was my first relationship so technically i didn’t know how to handle it but i should’ve broken up with him at the spot. i just told him is that i didn’t really want to have sex with him because i was scared of the outcome happening to me (technically we really didn’t do anything yet besides kissing so i thought i was setting a boundary for my protection (im such an idiot)).
the thing that kind of falls on my fault was that we were at his place and we were watching a movie. i was okay with him kissing me, but then he decides to suck the crotch area of my sweatpants. i could feel his saliva all over that area which grossed me out, so i took them off…. IDIOT!!!! i was okay kissing me until he decided to basically tug my underwear down and go down on me… i was taken by surprise but i pretty much didn’t say no or anything because i didn’t know how to feel and just let it continued when i really should’ve told him to stop. i think the most incredibly stupid part was that i said “keep going” because i thought since it already happened why not let it finish? he stopped when i realized i wasn’t getting much out of it and i didn’t like it and told him to. i feel like this incident isn’t valid if i didn’t say no, and said to continue even though i felt unpleasant. and because of my actions ive now developed a yeast infection that has been super resistant to medicine for the past 6 months almost. immediately after it happened (like two days) i felt pretty disgusted with myself and i still feel like that to this day. i’ve been getting mixed responses when asking, two of my friends before said i didnt say no or stop so it can’t be classified as assault, one of my friend said yes, and because of the entire situation and having to go to multiple dr visits i kind of freak out when they have to do an exam on me and touch me, and i brought it up to my OBGYN and she mentioned SA. however, i did reach out to his ex because i have health anxiety and it was centered around him potentially carrying an STD since their relationship and i ended up getting information that he has hurt them before, but their experience is more severe as mine, so im technically at war with myself for it.
even if its not considered SA, the experience was overall traumatic and it doesn’t make it better that it was my first time as well.

i’ve had this condition since january and i feel lost. multiple rounds of fluconazole from drs only for it to make it worse, finally saw a midwife last month who prescribed me to take boric acid for 21 days. the symptoms cleared and started to get better. really thought it was going to get better from there. my last dose was on monday, ended up getting the typical odor and yeast symptoms yesterday. went to urgent care at kaiser today because i noticed it wasn’t getting any better. they’re extending it to an extra week. i have an appointment with the gynecologist next week and will be asking them for susceptibility testing + more aggressive treatments. i literally don’t care at this point if i have to get an IV for this thing to be eradicated. it feels like cancer. now the bacteria is spreading in my urine from what i saw. they never called me like they said they would.
before anyone tells me to check for mycoplasma/ureplasma, BV, or sti’s, i’ve routinely gotten checked and they’re negative, and i’ve never been sexually active before. it’s just yeast that’s positive. i hate this year so much.
