First GH outbreak and I'm terrified, sad, depressed, and sick with worry.

Posted , 6 users are following.

I'm making an appointment with the Dr tomorrow but I do have what looks like a blister and I have had bad back pain, tingling, headaches and a hot head but no fever. I feel so sick like my life is over. I read some of the posts but I'm still in shock. I don't think it could be anything else. I feel awful. I need support so bad as I haven't told anyone yet so I feel completely alone.

      I know it's not the end of the world. It feels like it tho. I'm like in shock. I haven't been diagnosed yet but I will be seeing my doctor tomorrow. Idk what else this could be so I'm pretty sure. Everything is so surreal.

    Hi Topp!

    My names Josie, I was diagnosed with GH in December. When I first found out I couldn't eat, sleep or think clearly for weeks. The depression & feelings of hopelessness are completely understandable- I think all of us here went through that. There's no denying that this will change your life in some ways, but after some time passes it truly turns into just an annoying bump in the road, that you learn to live with.

    The only people that I've told is my boyfriend & my doctor. I think that unless you're going to have a sexual relationship with someone, it's no one else's business (unless you want them to know of course) but that doesn't mean you're alone! GH is way more common than you would believe.

    Although my first outbreak was hell, I haven't had one since. I have an understanding & loving partner, so yes they are out there, & I hope to have a baby soon. GH doesn't define who you are. & you may start to realize it won't ruin your life. 😊

    Best of luck ❤️

    hi topp how are you holding up ? 

    dont feel to ashamed .. people tend to have this various disease .. 

    its a simple skin condition that comes and goes .

    it has been two months since ive been diagnosed with this disease and i can honestly say that it is SOOOO depressing at times, but you will sooner then later get over the initial shock .. 

    did you get the exact results of what type you have ? how was your first outbreak ?

    Topp,

    I know you haven't been diagnosed yet, but if the end result is H, Google H Opportunity and join their site. It is a forum site similar to this but specifically for people living with H. I was referred there, and it has helped me a lot. I was diagnosed with hsv2 on the 7th of this month. I have never had an OB and I have no idea how long I have carried this. When I told my boyfriend, he was very understanding and continues to be supporive. Point being, this is not a death sentence or the end of your love life, the right person will see past it and love you for you! Keep your head up! smile
