    I understand how you are feeling. I was pretty devastated when I found out about mine. BUT I did some research and the only reason I felt the way I did is because there is a stigma surrounding this disease. It's not the end of the world. You will feel better about it. There are millions of people who have it and half of them don't even know it. I had to tell myself that there will always be someone who will love you for who you are regardless of it. It's not just something I told myself but it's the truth.

    Please do not feel disgusting, it is in no way your fault. How you're feeling seems to be normal when you first get diagnosed with GH, I was the same last week! But, despite the stigma, sososo many people have it, just having a coldsore means you have the herpes virus. Please don't feel gross or abnormal, it is so common, people just need to be told that! Don't let it consume you, and it may be that you rarely or even will never have another OB. 

    You are in the same situation as so many people so don't feel alone.

    Congratulations on your pregnancy by the way! :]

    You did nothing wrong. I was diagnosed a week ago today and balled my eyes out for 2 days straight. I think that's exactly how it went 16 yrs ago when I was told I had HPV. Then as time passed I found life really hadn't changed. Even as I cried last week, I knew this would go the same. Things happen. You will find someone who loves you and your daughter better than your ex.

    Hate will cause a lot of stress, so please do not hate ... especially yourself!!!

    Stress can cause so many unwanted things & it makes things that are already present magnify. HSV-2 is what i tested positively for and it got me down. In the same respect it released me of a toxic relationship, showed me that i need to respect myself more, and that i need to follow my intuition in situations.

    Keep yourself informed, keep yourself true, and love your little girl with all your heart ???
