I asked ! He lied !!! I would never do that to someone ! and I would never not tell someone who didn't ask ! I couldn't live with thinking I had put someone through what I am going thorough right now :-(

I can relate to this so much ! Thank you for once again for helping me feel not alone !! and as far as being not good enough? Although I do not know you personally, I can tell you, Your more than good enough. You have being put on this planet for a reason . You're a beautiful soul, whose glow warms the hearts of others ! As we let our light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence actually liberates others. ~Marianne Williamson By facing your own fear so publicly and setting up this web site, you have liberated so many other people !! keep shining your light :-)

I am fairly new to Herpes and new to this site. When I was first diagnosed I found my self in a dark hole full of anger, blame and shame. And although I am still falling into the hole at times, Its becoming less frequent. Finding this site and being able to read all the lovely positive things people post has being a blessing for me. I almost feel like I am now part of a special group of people with whom I have a deep emotional connection with ( even though I haven't spoken to any of you ) Anyway I just wanted to say thank you all for sharing you experiences and in doing so helping others . Although I am not quite brave enough to spill all yet, I did want to share this little link with you. Although not herpes specific It sends you a little glow of love and inspiration everyday. I am not connected to them in any way, but the emails along with this site are keeping me from dawning in a pool of self loathing,and despair !! and all these other lovely emotions that accompany herpes !! Below is an example of one e mail .. All those voices that tell you you’re not good enough / strong enough / smart enough / pretty enough / valuable enough / young enough / healthy enough / perfect enough, they are lies. Ignore the cruel judge who spews lies and listen to me instead, for I know what is true. You, my darling, are a perfect little spark of divinity in human form. You are beyond good enough.Things are just as they should be. Everything is happening in perfect timing, and you are changing and growing and evolving just as you’re meant to.There is nothing for you to do. You need nothing more than who you are in this moment. If your life were to end right this second, your life would have been a success. There is nothing more you need to prove. Breathe that in, Your Inner Pilot Light innerpilotlight.com enjoy :-)

Thank you for sharing this. This, along with all the other positive things I'm reading on here are helping me to feel stronger. I have now got hope that I will eventually find someone who will love me for who I am. But, I realise that before that day comes I have to learn to love and accept myself, something that I have struggled with all my life ( well before H). So maybe, just maybe H has done me a favour, because now to be able to move on I have to truly learn to love and accept myself (flaws and all). I am now starting to think this could be a good thing, It means I no longer have to pretend I am super human ! Hopefully, along the way I'll find someone who will love the real me too. And have a relationship that's deeper more meaningful than any of my previous ones have been !! Something that you have just found ! Thank you so much :-)

Love quotes, they have helped me through many of my life's ups and downs ! and so I thought I would share these ! “Think of all the beauty still left around you and be happy.” ― Anne Frank " The problem is not the problem: the problem is your attitude to the problem " - Johnny Depp " Peace is a result of re training your mind to process life as it is, rather than how you think it should be" -Wayne W Dyer http://img.quozio.com/img/02aa4a59/1025/Im-quirky-silly-blunt.jpg http://media-cache-ec0.pinimg.com/736x/f7/a6/43/f7a643a049e7a958784cb3cbb6e1d697.jpg http://media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/d7/c5/d6/d7c5d65c1685dac54fc4fff1711b7d5d.jpg I also love this site, and I am so glad I found it. The words from you all are helping me come to terms with my recent diagnosis and are just as powerful as all the quotes I have ever read !! (and being a bit of a geek I have read many many quotes !! ) Thank you :-)
