  1. Just realizing the more and more that I go on, the less and less I actually sit there and dwell on the fact that I have Herpes.. My grandmother brought me a bunch of books today and I made Manicotti for dinner. :D I am able to hang out with my family now and not just burst into tears any more. I realize now that I am able to just live my life. Enjoying every moment as though it could be my last.

     

     

  2. "but when it's ourselves, it's suddenly sooooo much bigger. Sometimes we just have to tell our brains to be quiet and calm down."

     

    You couldn't have said it better. I remember having a friend who found out that she had herpes and she was so upset. I was hugging her and being there for her telling her about my mother. Telling her that she will find someone that really likes her. && then there was me. I remember telling myself how dirty I was.. But then I came to terms with it. Just like my boyfriend did.

    "Prior to my positive blood test I did not know anything about herpes and would have run away from a partner that disclosed that he had it."

     

    I remember thinking the same thing. I was like " How could this happen to me ?" I remember thinking about someone who told me about there herpes in confidence. Him and I were going to have a relationship... I told him you know i really like you, but that is not a chance that I am willing to take.. I mean before we said you find out if a guy really wants to be with you or just in you. I didn't want to just have sex with this guy I just didn't know the facts and statistics.. I was young and stupid. Now I reevaluated these situations and thought about how he felt when I denied him. How upset he was. How upset I would be if I would be denied because of my little friend.. But I guess that's what happens you grow and you learn.

  3. @Alissa Hi. (: Welcome,

     

    Thank you for sharing with us today. I have only known that I have had HSV-2 for about a month now. I suspect that I have had it longer. Before I got my tests done I had like one bump here and there, but I always suspected that it was razor burn since it normally happened after shaving. When I found out that I had it, it was hard to come to terms with it, but within 2 weeks of having it I came to terms. ( I am not saying that I won't be an emotional wreck the next time I have an outbreak, because I probably will.) My boyfriend has sincerely helped me.

     

    I don't think that using the medication is an escape goat.. More like a helpful friend so that you can get through the OB's within less time. It has helped me a lot. I was able to get rid of an OB within 5 days versus a few weeks. I am also on it every day for my boyfriend.

     

    Like she said Denial is a step into acceptance. Also being a recovering addict I know that it is a big step into recovery. Think of that as recovering from something very heartbreaking. In time you will be better friends with your H. Like she said take this time to get to know your body. I told my boyfriend that I didn't want to have sex for a while so that I could get used to my body and my outbreaks. Within time you should also have less outbreaks also.

     

    :D You will learn to accept this, and you can also become good friends with you herpes. (: In the long run it is a good thing. At least for me.

  4. I honestly feel as if both should be disclosed. I mean I didn't know before that a cold soar or a fever blister was herpes. I thought it was just a cold soar ( which it is.)

     

    Like Dancer said consider H as your friend. I know that if my boyfriend I have now would have ran away I would have just known all he wanted. There are a lot of people out there who want you or just want to have sex with you. In a way you find out what they are really after.

     

    If you already know about your H then you shouldn't be so worried about it. You already went past the trauma of finding out that you had it. Keep your head up, and think positive. Hopefully this guy wants you.

     

    Also you can find out a lot of information about this and when you do decide that it is time to disclose and he accepts it you can tell him all of the information to keep both of you safe. (:
