It was just in a book that I happen to be reading. But thank you for the information

So I was reading this book and it didn't have anything having to do with herpes but this girl goes temporarily psychotic. Anyway in it it mentions this thing called herpes encephalitis and said it was a strain of herpes that they thought may be causing her symptoms. I don't believe that I have it but I was wondering how this would be contracted and if I should be worried that because I have genital herpes about ever developing it. Any information would help ease my mind.

Ya I know, ill tell him. I just don't expect anything good to happen when I do. I don't see any anger but I'm scared of being thought of as gross

This guy came around recently, I'd known him a few years back. But I hadn't talked to him since I found out about having (h). He started wanting to talk again and I thought no big deal, whatever. I haven't been with anyone in romantic way (nor sexual way) since my last bf when I found out I had (h). This new guy he's sweet and I think I could get to really like him. And because of that I'm terrified. I have to tell him about me having (h). I don't want to waste his time for something I honestly don't know and don't think he'd be ok with. Or able to cope with. Maybe it's just my pessimism acting out but I don't imagine it going well at all. I've already deleted any messages or snapchats with him because when I tell him tomorrow I don't want the reminder. And it's in moments like these that I honestly think I'm better off alone. I don't want to waste someone's time and besides that I dont know if I trust anyone like that in general. I went to meet him today just to catch up and all these thoughts came to mind and it's like i got paralyzed with fear. I debated just bailing with no reason and letting it be a shoulda woulda coulda thing. But I'm not that rude. I don't know guys...

I've have hemrroids in the past but with finding out about this I just get freaked out when something happens now. It's like I don't know what herpes can cause to happen in me and what if can't cause. I need to learn more for sure but I get so scared at first.

So I've had herpes for a while now. But whenever something new that I haven't encountered before it freaks me out. I had blood in my poop today. I'm sorry for that being a little graphic, but I don't know how else to phrase that. Should I go see a doctor like asap or am I freaking out way too much and should drink some water and hydrate better?

Thank you :) it helps knowing there's a community out there. Reminds me I'm not alone.

I found out I had (h) a few months ago. The weird thing is I automatically disclosed to my partner at the time and he was fine with it. We dated for a while and it just didn't work out. But he was the first person I told out of a very small circle. So when we broke up it was harder because I lost my confidant too. My family doesn't know. I don't think they'll understand. They're great but very old fashioned, very catholic on the subject of sex. Earlier I got into an argument about hubcaps on the car and how I didn't think they mattered. They told me it was a matter of pride, have pride. But I'm not naturally that proud, and how disappointed they'll be when they find out about me. This proud family... And one of "their own" having (h). I don't know how to feel accepted anymore. I don't know how I'd ever tell them.
