Hi all- Like all of us, I'm looking for someone to talk to openly and be somewhat of a sounding board for the sometimes chaos that is my mind about this. Of course it is a two way street, and I'm here to be a buddy to talk to as well. For the last few months (despite all the lifestyle adjustments and actually throughout a multi-month long travel), my prodrome and outbreaks are endless. I think I've come to terms with the fact I have herpes, but it is the consistency and continually of the outbreaks that I just can't come to terms with - and it is what wrecks havoc on my brain even in moments I should be enjoying. Although I can rationally tell myself things will work out, I'm at certain points every day worried, mad and searching the web for stories of others who had a period of constant problems. I am, however, very happy in my life too and just don't want this to control me. I guess I'm looking for some solace in someone else and his or her experiences. I can provide a welcoming ear and a sounding board to chat about you, too! Chicago is home, but I am open to buddies both near and far. As I'm traveling for a couple more months I'm not in Chi anyway. Ideally someone who has experienced a long period of outbreaks. I am a 25 year old female but I'm open to talking to any gender. Looking forward to connecting with some great people.
