How do I cope
Posted , 4 users are following.
I work in healthcare which puts me in a very bad spot, since I can easily contract almost everything in the world. I was always careful when it came to sex, always washing my hands etc. I was with my X fiancee for 9 years, We broke up almost a year ago. I was diagnosed with herpes on Monday September 18th, 2017. I am now so afraid of everything. I feel like damaged goods. I haven't told a soul. I just feel like my life is over. Every time I think about it, I start crying so hard. I have read some stuff when I am alone. I am ok with being alone for the rest of my life ( or so my head tells me right now). I guess I am in denial as I don't want to believe that I have herpes. I know that there are so many people that are infected. I just need to know that I am not alone as strange as that sounds.
Thank you for taking the time to read this.

I don't even know where to start, I'm going on with life I have to for the sake of my child, but deep inside it's dragging me down! I feel like I should shower like 50 times a day and I've been on medication since Friday and I don't feel like it's helping 😭

You have taken your first step you chose for the sake of your CHILD to go on OK now the next step find someone to talk to professional or a close friend you trust it's hard to talk about it BUT we do. Before I found this site would you believe I called the Suicide Prevention Hotline I needed to talk to someone .... You said you could take 50 showers and still feel dirty YOU ARE NOT !!!!not DISGUSTING either.... 1 out of 4 is in same boat we are in SO you are We are not alone. PLEASE find someone to talk to OK. I will still be here to chat with . Keep your head up high and don't beat yourself up anymore for your CHILD and yourself

I feel like my meds aren't working.. I've had three outbreaks since I've been on meds and normally they happen a week to two weeks after my cycle. I'm taking acyclovir, what do y'all take! I'm just looking for answers I hate having this monthly reminder...
