You open the screen again, worried about contraception
This story is for you, still bothered by last weekend’s contraception and reopening the search bar during work.
Scenes
- You open the screen again, worried about contraception — Are you still thinking about what happened, even during work in the afternoon, because of last weekend’s contraception?
- You brushed it off as okay, but your mind won’t stop — You keep opening and closing the search bar alone, afraid asking your partner might spoil the mood.
- You delete your search history with the file still open — At your office desk, you leave the file open and delete your phone’s search history again.
- Vague searches blur the questions you need to ask — When sexual health information is lacking, it’s easy for your mind to fill the gaps with what worries you most. The more you search, the blurrier your questions become.
- Start by writing down what you don’t know — In one sentence, write what happened, what you don’t know, and whom you want to ask. It’s practice for holding on to your questions.
- You decide when and how far to go with your questions — It’s okay if you can’t ask today. You have the right to prepare questions about contraception and testing, and the right to cross the next threshold.
