so I got diagnosed with HVS2 almost 6 months ago. every since over been having an outbreak every two weeks or so. at first I was not on medication, then my doctor put me on 500mg daily. after that did not work, she put me on 1000mg daily and prescribed me a anti anxiety pill. During this time my grandma had just recently past away, along with the stress of me needing to find a new job and balancing school (I am a senior in college). I was also stressing over disclosing to a guy so that could've been a reason for one of my outbreaks. also I have been going out on the weekends and drinking with my friends. I have not changed much of my habits since I have been diagnosed. I'm thinking about taking a break from drinking just to see if that helps, but I feel like if it were the alcohol then I would have an outbreak as soon as I woke up or at least some time the following day. i dont know , I just want to know how to make these outbreaks stop ! its depressing. the only thing I can say is each outbreak seems to be less severe each time. is there anyone out there who relates to my situation? does anyone have any tips to give me?
