You will become stronger every day. It sounds to me that you need to accept yourself as you are and do not let herpes define you. Easier said than done, I know. I disclose upfront. I do not have time to waste and I do not want to waste their time. Some people will not want to be sex partners but do want to be friends. This is a really good site and it has some great information. You are a beautiful, worthwhile and wonderful person. Hang in there because it will get better.
