new to herpes
Posted , 6 users are following.
45. Divorced dad. Diabetes type 2. HSV2.
I was devastated when I found out about the diabetes. But I fought back. Better food choices, regular exercise, lost weight. Now, I'm in the best physical condition I've ever been in. 175lbs, 9% body fat. I look like I'm in my late 20's. Then, about a month ago, I had my first herpes outbreak. I'm devastated once again. I'm here to educate myself to fight this the same way I have my diabetes. I can't let this keep me from a happy and active love life. Any and all advice is appreciated.

You not alone in this I have been told I got although still waiting on results it just confirming it by results.
You will find love again although I just been told this and come out relationship. They are sites u can go on with people who have or if u meet someone they need to be really understanding. My journey just started on this had a lot of positive things said to me.
From what I have read u can have this years not know. I just still getting over my first ob.
Even though I feel mixed right now think my life not over.
You done amazingly well losing weight with diabetes don't let this knock u down.

Healthy eating and regular exercise to help your body's immune system and also for general peace of mind.
Dating wise, you don't need to be afraid, it takes time, and that's fine. There isn't a time limit on how long you should take to come to terms with something, and how long you should wait before you branch out and start dating again. It's just about being honest and remembering that if someone does not accept you for who you are and your honesty then they aren't worth the struggle convincing. Someone better is out there.

take some time to do something for yourself, and personally I've found boosting my immunity has helped me, also dealing with my stress and seeing a counsellor to work on coping mechanisms helped control my OB. Talking to a friend also helps, gives you support and relief when you just need to blurt out the worries and have someone listen xx
hope you find managing strategies that work for you x
