Waiting with anxiety

Posted , 4 users are following.

I thought I had an ingrown hair and was fiddling with it and noticed it become tender. I then noticed it was an open sore. I went to the doctor and had it swabbed and he said it doesn't appear to be herpes however it seems like docs seem to be wrong. Anyways I'm waiting for result which take up to a week and am freaking out. You're stories are helpful to read but can't stop obsessing!

      I hope her test is negative. All I can say is if I'm negative I've learned a life lesson from this and if I'm positive I'm not sure how I will get through it but this forum is step 1

    I've had herpes for 2.5 years. I got lucky and got type 1 down there. Type 2 is deff worse but they have medicine (acyclovir) that helps with outbreaks I don't see it as a monster anymore. If u want one night stands, u can still do it, u just have to live with the fact that u could do this to someone else. But if ur not that type, it's a blessing in disguise. Be honest with partners before having sex, and if they truly care about u and see a future with u, they will take the chance. Of they're just using u, they'll run for the hills. There's no reason to get depressed or anxious. It all works out.

      I felt the exact same way! I got mine from a cheating ex, it was horrible. I was depressed and suicidal and I finally said "f*** this" and decided to go out with my friends. I drank, had sleep overs and just surrounded myself with good vibes. I decided to focus on myself and my happiness and took a 100% break from guys. It wasn't easy getting back into the dating scene, but when I did I made sure to really get to know the person first. Of course there was a bunch of pressure to have sex and I told them no. I got called a tease and had guys completely stop talking to me. Then I found one that I said no to, that I wanted to be in love first because I was tired of being played. He respected that and thought it was really cool. We've been together for 2 years and he has contracted anything from me. I'm open about when I think I might be having symptoms and we substain from having sex, and then when we do we always wear a condom. It used to be all I would think about when we'd have sex and now the thought doesn't even cross my mind.

      I don't sleep around but I can honestly say if a guy told me he had it I would probably run. I'm a lot more educated now but I'm feeling very depressed.
