I lost my job a few months ago and was on a downward spiral, my savings were getting depleted very quickly and my job search was going nowhere.
The nail in the coffin was when I received the news that my mother was diagnosed with stage 1 cancer, which is curable, so there’s some semblance of hope.
My girlfriend of 4 years also told me that she wanted to break up with me because she felt like our relationship was going nowhere.
I felt hopeless in life, as though everything was coming to an end in the worst possible way, and I desperately needed an outlet, or at least something to make myself feel good.
And I was down to my last cent, I couldn’t even afford to top up my ezlink card to go for job interviews, that’s how bad it was.
I borrowed about $600 from a friend to tide me over, and I went out for some drinks and to just distract myself for a little while.
After drinking, I decided to book an escort to “release” some stress. This Thai woman charged me $600 for an overnight session, but I managed to haggle the price down to $500.
We slept together that night and we didn’t even use condoms, and the next morning I went home feeling a little better and confident, as I resumed my job search.
A few weeks later I started noticing that it burns when I urinate, and I was also oozing a little bit of pus.
So naturally I got worried, and I then went to get myself tested, and the results came back stating that I had both gonorrhoea and syphilis.
I thought to myself, “this cannot be happening”, how the f could I get two STDs at once, and why the f is this happening now, of all times.
I really don’t know what to do, I’ve been on medication ever since and nobody in my life knows about this yet.
My mother is sick, my girlfriend has already left me, I’m still jobless and now I have two STDs. If God wants to play a joke on me, he really played an epic one this time.
