    Were you diagnosed by swab? Having HSV2 is no fun, but it does get better both physically and emotionally. It took me a while to get fully back to my normal self, but I finally made it and feel good again, which is a huge relief. It just needs time. Be patient, be kind to yourself, and treat yourself well. You will get there, too. It always feels the worst when you are initially diagnosed and going through your first outbreak, etc. That's quite normal, but it's also normal to adapt, emerge stronger and move on.

      You're most welcome! Have you ever had an outbreak, by the way? Do you know the type of herpes test performed (IgG or IgM) and your numeric index value from the test? I only ask, because the blood tests for herpes are not always the best, and in some cases can be prone to low false positives. If you have a copy of your lab results, the info should be detailed there, otherwise you can request a copy.

    I understand your feelings in the same boat having the same feelings. However, it's not the answer our lives are not over. A few years ago I had someone very close to me go through what I am now going through. I had all the right words to tell that person. Fast forward at 29 she got marry to a man who loves her and the child they had together. Suicide is a permanent solution for something that is so temporary in our lives . You have to forgive yourself and move on. As I say this I am reminded myself of it
