Im very concerned about my future. I rather die than to feel this pain. I found out I have herpes yesterday. And im only 18. Dancing is my life , I smile all the time, and I'm always laughing. Now I don't want to dance , I never smile, and nothing is funny anymore. I graduate June 4th. I funny even care hardly about that. I'm so depressed. And it hurts. I can't get rid of it. I've never been so low. If I do decide to follow my dreams who will want to support me when it's all done. What man will want to ever be with someone who has herpes.

    I sounded exactly the same when i found out. You probably were feeling better treating it without having a name on it. Tbh im 18 too graduate tomorrow! And no you can't get rid of it... But none of us can. You have to go get meds from ypur doc that will help. You can still be a dancer, and this should motivate you to do what's best for you! Youre

    The one that has to deal with it. You don't have to tell anyone ever if you don't want to. But after the crying wears off, know that you CANT pity yourself. You are still luminous with worth. Keep your head up and take care of yourself. You wont feel as bad, when tour trying to make yourself feel better. Go to college, and dance and persure ypur dreams, remembering 1 out of ever 3 people you see either have hsv1 and/or hsv2

      Your extremely right. I've been very depressed and not wanting to live anymore. But I'm glad that you're actually going to graduate that's so good for you. I hope it's good for me too. And hopefully with in time I can actually walk normal so I can walk across the stage.

    You have a lot to look foward to! Dont let a common virus like herpes take that away from you.

    What type do you have?

      Im pretty sure I have hsv2. But I'm not sure yet. And thank you I appreciate it. It just very horrible. Idk when the burning while urinating will go away, or does it go away after the outbreak is over ? Or is the meds supposed to kill the burning with in due time. ?

      So the reason it burns when you pee is because urine is touching the sores. So until the sores are healed it will hurt every time your urine gets on your sores . Ive read some people on here say it helps to use a water bottle to squirt water while you pee to relieve the pain.

      The meds help with the symptoms of an OB i guess making them less severe? Not to sure about that.

      Its no prob, well i used tea tree oil to help with some pain relief. Basically you dilute some of the oil in water, and with a cotton ball dab on your sores. Be sure not to dab in the same cotton ball a second time. Wear loose pants as well try and avoid skinny jeans.

      No , not at all they just look like it but I'm not sure if that's just how the sores look since it's my first outbreak I'm just not sure.
