Hello, first time poster, long time herpes haver. I am looking for a male and/or female buddy and support. I am 33 years old and have had herpes for over 10 years. Found out when I was pregnant with my second daughter. I was with the person who gave it to me, so even though I felt shame from it, I just kind of tucked it away and didn't think about it. I've been out of that relationship for about 2 years and now I think about having herpes almost everyday. I have told a few close friends and they don't judge or treat me any different, but I don't think they understand the fear of meeting new people. I can usually fake confidence pretty well, but anything personal or intimate and i wilt. I feel alone with my thoughts and sometimes struggle with the fear that love is out of the question for me, 2 kids AND herpes... Just looking for different perspectives and maybe meet new friends without the weight of my secret on my chest. Thankful to have found this community. I am currently near Columbus, Ohio.
