I am completely alone. I have shut out all of my friends and family, I just don't know how to socialize anymore. I don't know how to pretend to be happy. I'm wasting away and it's disgusting. It's disgusting that I have genital herpes, my attitude about having it is disgusting, I'm just disgusting. This diagnosis is eating me alive and I'm afaid. I'm afraid I'll never be happy again .

I am guessing you had some preconceived ideas about 'what type' of person got GH.....I did too, my diagnosis made me realise that was rubbish, everyone and anyone can get it, that's the first thing you need to remember! That and you do not need to tell anyone if you don't want too(except future partners) it's your health and your business, no one else's!
Take this opportunity to start looking into how to build up your immune system and health, that'll give you something to concentrate on till you feel stronger!x

You arent disgusting at all. about 1 in 6 people has Herpes, thats almost as many people as have diabetes. Everyone you see or know that has cold sores- thats a form of herpes yet no one says anything bad about that, its just a part of life. GH is now just a part of your life, you can still have sex, still have kids, still work, still do everything you did before.
Its not disgusting that you have herpes, its just another virus that attacks nerves. It only feels disgusting because of where its located. Imagine having a sore on your arm, thats not gross simply because its a body part we are used to talking about. As a culture we dont talk about genitals and therefore sicknesses associated with it must be bad.
You arent alone believe me, read the forums, private message some people (I would be happy to talk to you if you would like) do a bit of research and see how it will affect you personally in your life.

Just decide now how you want to live and behave and do it, your diet and stuff might change but only for the better.....embrace it and make yourself healthy!
If your in the middle of your first outbreak you'll feel 10x worse, when it clears up and you feel healthier it'll all seem better and easier to cope with!
