Posted: Wed Feb 04, 2009 5:44 pm Post subject: anxiety makes me lie |
|
|
| i have yet to figure out why, but when tough situations arise my anxiety kicks in and lies just spill from my mouth. most times it is small lies but i just came up with one that could ruin my life for ever and now i do not know what to do. i lied to my best friend and my boyfriend about being sexually assaulted. i made a mistake the night before and i slept with another guy. he didn't use protection and i wasn't on the pill so instead of telling my friend the truth so i could go to the pharmacy and get the morning after pill, i told her my fake story so that i could get a rape kit at the hospital to ensure i wouldn't get any diseases or become pregnant from this incident. now, i am faced with telling both of them what really happened because it is eating me alive. please anyone with any advice, my ears and mind are open for anything. |

most of us are good hearted people and we lie to protect others. that is what you did and kudos for you for recognizing that telling the truth is the right thing to do. what you did is a criminal offense and you can get into bigger trouble than just with your boyfriend/friend
it is much harder to tell the truth than to lie about something. |
