i absolutely hate myself at the moment and im being annoying beinf constant but i cant sleep at night nor can i function at work . my partner is over me speakinf about it as he says im nuts but im going crazy regardless of people saying the risk is low , most of my friends take party drugs and i dont . last week at a party i decided to take one when my friends were and i used my own rolled up bank note from my wallet thinking i was being safe . i regretted the line and just drank the rest of the night . the next day i completely panicked and read up on iv and hep c risk from snorting drugs . my question is is the risk only when immediately sharing from one nose to the next which I didn’t do or is there a risk from using a bank note in general as they are so dirty and you dont know whos blood is on there from prior ? please help i cant function and i cant wait 3 months to test 😦
Take a deep breath and try to relax. Keep taking deep breaths and slowly letting them out. If you have a doctor or insurance maybe calling your doctor or using teladoc or doctor on demand and asking them might ease your anxiety. If your in the states, there are some hospitals that have an RN that you can call and ask them questions. Your letting you’re anxiety get the best of you. All anxiety is, is fear. In order to overcome that fear you must hit it head on and take control. You can take control.
try thinking of it this way.. everything has risks. Having sex increases your risk of having a heart attack but the likelihood of that happening is ridiculously low if youre generally healthy along with getting hep c from a dollar bill. Hep c is transfered through infected blood only you cant even get it through sexual intercourse or saliva. Unless the person who used it before you was infected with hep c and bled on the dollar bill I think you can let this go.
i didnt share the note , it was in my purse but i have no idea if it has to be an immediate share or if its just from a contaminated note from prior use to whoever had the money last. i sound sooooo crazy hey ?
you are so kind to me even though im being nuts . i am not in the states unfortunately and im almost positive my doctor would just suggest testing when the window to be detected is past . i am
panicking heaps . the hep and hiv websites are so conflicting . they only talk about sharing notes being a risk but do not state if its immediate sharing or just using a note anyways since you dont know where its been . im even worried the something could of been present in the actual drugs that i took into my system . im really hating my self atm and i cant concentrate on much else
yeah i think youre fine lol.
lol i like that you admit i sound crazy . im struggling to get my head around logic and real risk .
if you were me would you test ? honest
my partner is literally about to walk out on me because he is over me banging on about it . i dont think ive been so fixated on one risk before im driving myself and everyone around me insane
