Posted , 4 users are following.

I have just to the clinic as been feeling really in pain down there. Only yesterday looking at mirror realized I could have herpes. So doctor took me room today we discussed it and examined me and said I do have what looks like herpes. She said that she will be shocked if I didn't have it. I have tablets and this gel. 

I am worried about discussing this with a guy I been on and off with. How do u explain to people feel awful. Could not tell my mother laying in bed while it just sinking in. I am in so much pain and scared to go wee.

If anyone going tell how u cope. Worried no man with ever want me now.

      I'm not sure your age, but I've found that the younger the person is, the less they seem to understand and are not as sensitive about it. Maybe telling your mother is what you need. You need soneones compassion and to fawn over you. My friends who compassionately agreed this was devastating news and OK to feel this way, made me feel better a d easier to deal w. The ones who were rude and yes I had two friends who were insensitive about it, told me I'm handling it poorly, I'm setting a bad example by being so upset, that there's worse things in the world and that I had no reason to be upset and alls that did, was make me angry and make it harder to get over. You need people who will share in your fried and show their support. It makes it easier to get over. 

      Like I said, I didn't stop breaking out for two weeks just about. Just hang in there and keep reminding yourself that it will come to an end. It doesn't feel that way when you're going through it, but it does. 

      We're here for you. Don't worry!

      I know this is not good what happening I am truly gutted by the news. But at the same want christmas out the way. I need to make this good for my son. But think my mum wondering why I in so much pain. Just in.bed again feel like.more coming out. I can barely walk. I just don't think.it sunk in yet. Although was crying earlier. 

      I just want results in. Then can deal with it.

      I am quite a strong person but think this will make me very low. Although I have read positive stories. 

      My friend message me to see how I am. Known her since we were kids.My other friend not said much really. 

      Really worried when confirmed what they do next.

      I would just start accepting it now, I'm positive that is what you have and you're going to get disappointed if you go to the docs and they tell you that is what you have. Listen, I couldn't talk about it or tell doctors w out bursting into tears saying it. I for two months couldn't talk to people, cause I felt like I was going to blurt itout to them. I cried every day. I'd say by my 3rd month I was OK, but still had moments and cried sometimes. By my fourth, I was noticong that I coukd go out and have a good time and not remember I had it for the entire night, until I came home. Now I have days where I only think about it once or twice. My friend I told last night and this being my 5tj mo the w it; I didn't even cry telling her. So kt gets easier, I promise. You just have to keep telling yourself that.

      Hi

      I have been feeling a bit odd think I am dehydrated not weeing as much as I should. I finished my tablets yesterday. I would say that it is sinking in and been crying although still being strong. Yesterday lashed out at this on and off bf. I am experiencing mixed emotions. But am feeling better with the sores today first time I went without being in pain. But I'm at my mums so been using shower head in bath. Not felt like weeing normally I have weak bladder.

      I still won't tell my mum I can't.

      I didn't go to the bathroom as much either during my first ob and I had trouble going and emptying. I think it's a combination of not srinking as much cause you don't feel well, along w the swelling and inflammation it must cause internally.  As long as you're not in excruciating pain like your bladder is going to burst if you don't go, then I'd not worry too much about it. But you do need to hydrate yourself. Your body needs to be fed w good nutrients and plenty water to be strong to fight the virus

      How are you?

      I have been down about this as this has been slowing sinking in. Still got a long way to in making peace but nervous about results as tested for this and other STDs. I have spoke to this guy and feel better he told me his female friend experience which made mw feel better. Really unexpected.

      I know once confirmed I will be feeling bad but I know from reading positive experiences my life not over. My bf and I split to happy to let myself come to.terms with this first. Won't be wanting a relationship for a good while. Like this guy said once u make peace with this yourself u can tell people. As for guys when that time comes it is up to them. I going to try be positive.

      I am doing OK. I am still breaking out at least internally every month, regardless of being on daily suppressive therapy. I was seeing someone and was pretty positive based on things they said, that they would never accept my condition. The great thing is in this situation, it really forces you to take your time getting to know someone's character, before getting intimate w them and jumping into a relationship, before truly learning their character. Lust can lead us to jump into anythings too quickly and ignore red flags. I was able to learn that this guy had many red flags and wasn't a good fit for me, because I now had to take my time getting to know someone, instead of letting what felt like intense chemistry get carried away. 

      I know it is hard and I still have days where it is hard. I cried the day I realized I was close to committing to this guy and was going to need to tell him. I feel dirty sometimes and who that doesn't already have this, is ever going to find my lady bits sexy.  The only thing we can do is take one day at a time and not start thinking about the what If's, as we'll just drive ourselves insane w it. Hang in there.
