Hi, I only got diagnosed with HSV 2 about two days ago. I am still trying to process this and have done a lot of crying and freaking out. I would love to chat with someone who has been through this and can help me figure out where to go from here. I have a million questions and I just need a friend with experience. I am feeling many different emotions right now, mostly anger and disbelief. This was not the xmas gift I was expecting :(

Reading your post was emotional for me as it reminded me a LOT of myself. I was just diagnosed yesterday and turned 30 a few weeks ago. I thought I was worried about being 30, little did I know I had bigger problems. I also deal with not really liking myself so hearing this just makes it that much worse. At this point I can't say I see anything good coming from this and I am even more angry at life than I was before. Have you been abel to conquer some of your bad feelings since your diagnosis?

I was just diagnosed yesterday and to be honest I am freaking out. I have so many questions and worries that I don't even know where to start. I am in my first outbreak and it's awful, but I started meds right away. My doc (and other things I have read so far) have been saying "it's not the end of the world", but that's exactly how I am feeling right now. How can this really be happening to me?! I am so pissed and upset I can't handle it. I don't even want to look at anyone because even though they don't know, I am ashamed. My boyfriend of over 2 years was with me when I was diagnosed so at least he already knows, but that is a whole other story. Did I get it from him or did I give it to him?? Will he stay with me knowing what's wrong with me? UGHHH. I am so overwhelmed by this news and I joined this site to talk to others who are also going through the same thing to help. I feel really alone and awful right now. :(
