Need positive feedback, feeling alone
Posted , 4 users are following.
I'm 30 years old and was diagnosed with herpes a year ago. I was devasted and still am. I have good and bad days, lately I've been having bad days emotionally as my relationship is not going well, and Im scared I will never have anyone accept me again because of this. I'm heartbroken, and it's my own fault. I haven't had any outbreaks that I'm aware of besides the one the diagnosed me with. I feel helpless, alone, stuck, and feeling like I will never have a relationship again. This isn't what I wanted to happen at all

I'm also 30, but was diagnosed last month. My current boyfriend gave it to me, unknowingly. I believe he was a carrier and didn't know it.
I feel that down am having trouble forgiving. I'm angry. I would have never thought I would have HSV2. I also have my concerns about finding someone else if things don't work out. I really want a family.
But if a person doesn't accept us for who we are, then that's on them. It simply is a virus, that we can try our best not to pass on by taking proper precautions. And definitely being more careful would be necessary.
You can message me if you want. I'm a great listener and it helps sometimes to talk to others going through the same exact thing.

If you don't learn to accept this then you never will and be prepared for constant heartbreak, when I got diagnosed it was the worst time ever I was so depressed I met a girl on here who got diagnosed the same time as me and we both worked with each other to learn, life is good there are people dying and suffering, yeah sh*t happened to us but we are still alive and we're still okay!!
I have a boyfriend so I'm doing good, whereas my friend caught it from a one night stand!
Let me just say with each others help we both learnt to accept it and we're both 100% okay now, It doesn't bother me anymore, yes I get down about it sometimes, but sometimes I get sad about my weight, and skin! In this life things WILL upset you, but this isn't one of those things to hurt you!
Me and my friend got diagnosed in february, She was single and has since (because she has been very open and accepting) been with a few men, she told them honestly and they still wanted to be with her and sleep with her!
You need to accept this, This won't ruin your future, you are!!!

I'm recently diagnosed, and one of the things that I am learning about this virus is that I have to change the way that I take care of myself. I can't continue to live my life in an unhealthy manner, i.e., not getting enough sleep, drinking large volumes of coffee, not getting any exercise, not eating healthily. Continuing to do these things will impact my immune system, which can trigger outbreaks.
I'm looking forward to getting SUPER healthy, so that my body can better fight this virus.

Hahaha, I remember when I was recently diagnosed and I thought I had to change my whole life, (that lasted about a week)
I remember thinking 'oh f*ck it I'm having an unhealthy weekend'
Got absolutely wrecked, ordered so much take out then cured my hangover with numerous cups of coffee' and I was completely fine, I drink coffee religiously and I'm fine, the only thing that causes me problem is continious sex (so more than like 2 times a night)
Don't change your life for this, if you want to be healthy be healthy for yourself not for this!
Don't feel like you have to do this, I noticied no difference apart from being depressed when I tried to change my life for it

Not sleeping enough, and drinking coffee does tend to trigger my outbreaks, as does stress.
