Very recently I discovered I had the virus. I was absolutely devastated and cried everyday for a week. It was hard going through my daily activities without crying. I feel terrible. I have a small support group of 2 of my family members who have been great. I never imagined this would ever happen to me. I am so glad I discovered this website, it has been a world of help. Initially I felt like my life was over. Slowly I'm coming to terms with it. Dating has been hard for me, and I feel like it will continue to be harder. I can't get past the feeling of just feeling gross about myself. I think I just need someone else that understands these feelings. I don't know if i will truly ever find love because having the talk about this scares me to death. I am only 21 and knowing that I will be living with this forever has hit. I don't want to feel the way I feel but it's so hard.
I do have some questions..
I was on medication I took 3 times a day, my outbreak has cleared up and I finished the medicine. I am now taking Valtrex daily on the 2nd day of it but have felt itchy and bursts of pain down there. What is this? Am I having pre systems of another OB?
I also am severely struggling with having a disclosure talk. Any suggestions?
