Hi

I am a 26 yr old male living in NYC diagnosed with Genital HSV (1 or 2, im not really sure) 2 months ago and i feel like i don't ever deserve love or affection ever again. I honestly feel like the medical community has brushed this virus off as just a norm when it's destroying all of our lives.

 

I need someone to talk to or meet up it doesn't matter. I just need a better perspective because i don't know if i can continue living like this..

I just want to say. This is so relatable.

I was diagnosed with genital HSV three weeks ago. I don’t know if it’s 1 or 2... to me... it doesn’t matter because it’s there and it happened. I don’t know when or from who. As someone who has never thought life was “bad” enough to want to die.  When I got the news... I really did. 

Some days are better than others and it would be really nice to have someone to talk to. Someone. Anyone. I’m 34, female. I’ve been divorced twice and now I’m really thinking this is a further sign from the universe that a relationship or love is something I will ever understand or truly experience.

Anyways, I am rambling.

I currently live in Japan, but my job keeps me traveling so I would need support that doesn’t mind texting, FaceTime, or email.
