After hsv1 diagnosis in January I'm not able to cope. Having spent the last few days in a state over it I feel like this is it and can't go on.

I'm just not coping I don't want it, as no one does I know.
Today I feel the lowest I've been, I can't see a way forward with this.

I don't want it eighter. But I have to except it.
Is there treatment for it. Type 1 is better to deal with then type 2. With type 2 some people get recurrent break out. Type 1 I believe Is not like that. I have not had a break out since a year ago. Eating healthy and being stress free may help less break outs and symptoms.

I was recently diagnosed with HSV 1 and HSV 2 I even had a retake test and still positive. However I've never had a OB nor a cold sore ever! I'm so shocked I don't know what do. However at first I thought my life was over as well. But truly it isn't. I pray and lean on God because I refuse to look at this as a curse on my life. Maybe depression hasn't hit because I haven't had a OB. I will continue to pray that I don't as I do not know where my mind would go. Please stay encouraged and stay in groups such as this I believe it helps.

I got tested because my boyfriend had been unfaithful and contracted Trich. Of course he told so I scheduled an appointment with my doctor and got a full STD panel and requested HSV testing as well. Never thinking in a million years that anything would come back positive besides the Trich....however it did and this was less than a month ago. Now I'm here!

A majority of HSV infected people don't show any symptoms. May be you will be one of them. Keep your immune system healthy and eat a balanced diet and there is a very good chance you will be among the majority.
If you ever get symptoms then there are anti-viral meds like Valtrex which are very effective. A suppressive therapy reduces the frequency of attacks by 80% and chances of transmission by simialr percent. After about 2 year most people develop immunity and the frequency and secerity of attacks diminish a lot.
At th e end note that there are many diseases much worse than herpes. So in a way feel lucky and be happy as depression or stress doesn't help at all.
