Background: My life has always had its ups and downs, but I've usually been able to handle them pretty well. I've dated a few guys (I'm 19) and been sexually active during our relationship, but once those relationships ended I've had trust issues more than I would like to admit. The guy I am dating now is amazing. He makes me very happy, but we rushed into having sex (which was just as much my fault as his) and the past 2 days have been hell. Once he left, I felt anxiety and sadness. I haven't eaten much in the past two days ( I usually am shoving my face with food and laughing at everything).
I am in college, 19 years old. Needless to say, I wish I would have waited until I got married. We're slowing things down in the relationship, but it seems like I'm still hopeless and depressed. I don't know for sure if I am depressed and I don't know how to go about telling my parents, or if its even worth it.
My mom just had surgery on her neck and they found a clot in her lung, which they've stabilized and figured out. My dad just got over beating cancer and I've been up at college four hours away. Obviously there's a lot going on in my life, plus the added stress of college.
Should I open up and tell my parents I engaged in sexual activity way too soon? Or just go on and try to make myself happy? I think my parents would understand, but be worried. Yet at the same time I also think my mother would be heartbroken and I don't want to cause her anymore pain. What should I do?
