Diagnosed with HSV-2 and having nightmares
Posted , 5 users are following.
in terrified of this virus and i constantly feel dirty. And im going through an Outbreak(My first one) right now. Last night i had several dreams of giving herpes to my family by accident and just being exposed for having HSV-2 ... How do i cope with having this virus? The emotional part is the hardest for me because i dont have a support system ... its just me.
i wish i could go back in time and make a better decision. 😦

I am so sorry. Youre processing your fears. I suggest doing research and learn about the virus and how it is and isnt transmitted to others. Once you fully understand it, hopefully you will calm down and not feel so bad about yourself. EVERYONE has sex.... unfortunately some are left with things like this afterwards. Hang in there. It will get better. Take care of your body physically and mentally..... you are going to be ok....

i understand your thoughts and fears and how its making you feel. Just remember we are all human. We all make mistakes and wish we had do-overs. You need someone to talk to; glad you are here and not completely alone in your thoughts. If you want to message me privately, please do. You need time to think it through and process it... but you will be ok! Take it one day at a time!

Hello, i am also going through my first outbreak and im only 17 and im a girl. Luckily i have a supportive family and i dont feel ashamed because i know most people have this virus and have no symptoms so they dont know. it is a low risk for catching it through kissing if someone has no symptoms but sometimes guys have symptoms and theyre less painful and noticeable. i got it through unprotected sex i believe, even if i did use protection there was still a chance. but i dont blame anyone especially not myself. i cant imagine not processing this without support from a doctor or therapist. if you think your family will not support you try looking for a community center so you can talk about how you are feeling mentally and physically. im not sure where you live but in my town with something similar to planned parenthood and it is free of cost. remember this is nothing to feel dirty about, it is very common. im still learning but if you need any tips let me know.
