As of this afternoon I was diagnosed with GH and all I want to do is crawl into a hole and hide for a while. I have only had two sexual partners,one long term and one mistake, and the GH is from the mistake. 

I am in an incredible amount of pain and just want this whole first outbreak to be over. I feel like I can't live my life while I am in this much pain. 

I also feel very depressed about the situation and what it means for my future. I recently started a new relationship and really like the guy I am seeing. We haven't had sex yet, but I am worried that once I tell him the relationship will be over. 

Right now life just sucks. 

Any advice about living with GH would be appretiated.

    I recently found out I had GH and yes it sucks! I'm not sure when I got it but I assume from my last relationship about a month ago! And first outbreak is so painful, I've cried the last 2 weeks in so much pain!! And depressed in general about the news! You're not alone.

    You aren't alone by any stretch of the means.

    Don't crawl in a hole. Live your life to the fullest but stay true to yourself and if you crawl in a hole make sure you take some HSV literature so you will keep informed. Life is what it is, and it throws us 'stuff' ALL of the time. So keep true to yourself and everything else will fall right in place ?

    It will all get better in due time .

    It's not the end of the world & if this new person that you are seeing no longer wants to talk to you when you tell them your situation then forget them .

    At least you were kind enough to tell them and give them a chance . I never was .
