Yes I agree my insecurities are older than my herpes. How are you supposed to change what has always been broken now it's broken and has herpes? Sorry to be a Debbie downer but it's been a rough week

I keep telling myself I'm not my "gift", but every time I think of a future with someone.. I have this shame associated with my Herpes. January will be my one year anniversary with Herpes and sometimes I just wish it was all a bad dream. I've tried dating but cut things off quickly because I can't bring myself to have the talk.. I'm terrified to tell someone that might tell someone else and I'm not ready to come out of the closet yet so to speak. Is there really love and happiness after Herpes?
