Wow! You have come so far so fast!! And you are so young yet must be an old soul by the way you communicate! ❤️ I don’t know how you went to class for 10 days!!! I couldn’t even leave my couch when I had my first outbreak! I lost 5 pounds and did nothing but cry and watch tv. I could barely walk. I decided to get full std testing and a pap smear when I got my first bump. I also had lesions inside and I almost cried from the pain of the pap. 🤯 Easily one of the worst weeks of my life. My guy is an arrogant jerk himself, but was very caring for the 3 months after I battled with my decision whether to stay with him. I’m pretty sure he knew he had it when he gave it to me so after a while I couldn’t be around him. Plus I was convinced I could cure myself so didn’t want the chance of him “reinfecting” me. I’ve gone through so many emotions since then, and almost steadily had an outbreak each month. Like I said I’ve tried everythIng I can think of to be further away from this, but I’m starting to feel like I have to just give it time... and of course the intermittent fasting I’m doing all month. 🤣 Thanks for reaching out, it’s comforting to feel like I’m not alone, and your encouraging words help a lot. Sounds like you’re handling your diagnosis like a rockstar! Keep it up new friend. ❤️

@Flowerteacher55 I’ll look into EFT! Thank you for the idea! What has your journey with the virus been like? I’ve had pretty persistent outbreaks since I was diagnosed and I’ve tried everything from ozone treatments to a Panchakarma cleanse.. doing intermittent fasting the month to see if that stops the outbreaks.. my doctor said since I was so healthy I’d probably only have one outbreak but that has not been the case. Would love to hear about your journey..

Thank you for your response @Flowerteacher55!! I needed that and it really touched on how I’ve been feeling. Before this I practiced a lot of self care and self love and I’ve felt pretty lost since my diagnosis. I thought I knew my body, and was actually the healthiest I’d ever been when I got it. I went vegan the year before, meditated daily and had a nice yoga practice. I was working on my kundalini and decided to get back out in the dating world. One bad decision later I’m dealing with a severely bad outbreak and my world gets flipped upside down. I really hope that what you say is true and that someday I can feel a strong connection to my body again. ❤️

Hi all! First I want to say I’m grateful for this community. Having this diagnosis makes a person feel really alone sometimes. so I was diagnosed 7 months ago and since then I’ve been paranoid about spreading the virus to other parts of my body during a breakout. I’ve even had dreams that it was on my face. Wondering what people’s experience has been who had had it longer than me? Is this really a concern? Any insight would be appreciated!
