Truth be told, not aiming to be inconsiderate, but I have had my fill of men who were negative thru work. When it comes to anything now, work, dating, whatever, even friends, I refuse to go there. So basically right now I am only open to people who remain positive and situations where people lift each other up. I am sorry that you are feeling down in the dumps, but life experience has taught me that those who feel down can only bring you down. Attitude matters more than anything else and down and out outlooks are just too draining for me to deal with at all. Best of luck to you.

Seeker you have to do what feels right for you but I agreethat shutting down is not a solution; been there, done that.... waste of many years in al honesty.

One day at a time seeker, and thank you for sharing with us. We all have our ups and downs.

There was no reason to apologize at all seeker, I was having fun with all this.

Private message, really not a bad idea, lol.

Dancer, the room comment was hilarious!! But thank you for the lovely and insigthtful comments about getting my wings, sounds about right :)

seeker, I am also not into rap and hip hop mostly but in general I love every kind of music, it always puts a smile on my face, like candy & flowers (hint, hint) LOL!!

Hi everyone, so nice to read these fun responses after such a stressfu day. It all stems from work with 2 people I got into projects with -both being lazy, clueless AND unreliable. To avoid failing, I had to take on loads of unpaid work. Being in the arts, my balancing act between freelancing and managing these projects worked well for a long time, but this BS has dealt me a serious blow. Because on top of time spent on unpaid work, combined with a steady freelance client who has delayed on his payment, everything is upside down!! This month has been nothing short of hell. Really. Things are okay otherwise, just trying to find my balance yet I know me cutting off those idiots for good is for the best, so this is a transitional period - no doubt I will land on my feet, but I can't lie, all of this has been so hard :( Funny though, you sure learn who your real friends are at times like this. Oh well, now u guys know why the delayed responses here. Man do I need a vacation.

12 cute age, boy do they grow up fast.

Seeker, Oh and I also like that kind of dancing... tell me more please, I'm enjoying this :) Any hobbies, favorite movies? lol

Seeker, actually that all sounds lovely! NY people these days are so busy keeping up in this insane economy don't even have the time to open doors, say hello or date lmaooo!!! But I'm afraid you'd have to drive too, not just pump gas - I don't drive. I tried but I was too scared lol!! Willow, Dancer, you guys are too cute :)

That'd work too, seeker :)

seeker it is kinda normal to think these things, silly as they are, but you cannot pass it like that to your son. By the way, how old is your son?

Thank you Dancer that is GREAT advice. I will consider that because of course the more guys I date, the odds are better - thank u so much xoxoxo.

Hi, well I am finally ready to get back to dating!! I'm a petite, attractive woman (early 40's) dark hair, divorced a long time... I caught Herpes from a cheating spouse and then threw myself into my work all the way. I am in NY but wanted to see if there were any good worthwhile sites I might sign up for... I know I can date non-H guys but just would rather date a man where I wouldnt worry that I might infect him. So please help me out here people, I,m finally sick of being alone and need your help :)

Yes agreed, if there was an H free partner for sure I would use the meds.

Thanks, Unbroken, and very nice meeting you as well!

Thank you ladies! This is all helpful info, and Peggy, here anytine you need a friend, The same goes for all of you!!

Thank you and I agree withcomments about drug companies making money off people which honestly is why I would hope that I could mainly rely on natural methods on my own to deal with this. I might simply get the meds to have on hand as needed but truthfully, I think lots of folks would agree that there is little or no profit in cures - the money is in treating people.

Thank you, you are both right and I should keep all my options open. Meanwhile, I am wonderng if Dancer or anyone here mght know of a trusted Canadian pharmacy where I can order the meds online, that would be great, too. I read a lot today about diet and I would love to hear how people here are using diet and vitamins to help build up the immune system. I want to take time and do this for a month as well and see if it helps. In general I am reading online for this, eating 2 servings of yogurt per day, working raw garlic into the diet (2 cloves daily or just a few times per week) chicken soup; lots of tea, beef and sweet potatos help.

Dancer, 60% is amazing! I will look for that card online tonight. And yes, I do feel stomach symptoms similar to the flu when the virus is active sometimes. Aches, pains in joints, tired, etc. I have been stressed a lot; there was a guy who was flirty and chasing me but we are long distance - long story short - that put me through emotional ups and downs. It turns out that he lives with another woman. I had no idea, he never told me. So before I found this out, I was in and out and pretty emotional about things - we had gotten to be good friends, very used to each other. Having not been involved with anyone for a long time, I kinda felt like a 40 year-old kid who was new to relationships. I was pretty crazy about him, So the ongoing stress and uncertainty he put me through I think started this cycle of more frequent episodes... kinda glad I have managed to succeed in disengaging myself from him. I will say though having read peoples stories here, I would just rather meet someone who has H and hopefully bring some sunshine into their life instead. The honesty in some of these posts here is moving, grateful to have found this site.

I hear you on that, the stomach virus feeling is just yuck the last two days! I have to see a doc to get a prescription because I need one... would be great if we could order them online or buy it OTC.

Thanks! It would be nice to find some way to stop this or cut them short, feels very flu like actualy. Wondering if the Lysine for now might help?

Hi everyone, I am new to this forum and glad to have found this forum for support. Without an official diagnosis I know, based on my symptoms and things a doc told me in what had to be an inital ob, that I do have h. It was from my ex husband who had been unfaithful. I did not care though and still left him, so its been hard raising my daughter alone and mainly working for so long. I have told no one and have not had sex, fearing disclosure and rejection. But I am happy to report I am passed that now and ready to have a personal life again. I am not on suppressive therapy but since I am noticing symptoms around my menstrual cycle, just curious if it is actually effective to try this to reduce this? I must admit that having no insurance makes it hard for me to cover the costs of medicaton, but I will gladly listen to the wise people here :) Overall I am happy to be here and thrilled to meet new friends who will relate to what I am going through. Nice meeting you all, looking forward to help and be helped. Chrissy
