Hi I'm new here,
I've joined because I contracted HSV-2 around 2 months ago from a guy I was seeing who didn't know he had it (I'm not seeing him anymore) I was absolutely devistated and became the most depressed I've ever been, if it weren't for the comfort of my mum I'm not sure where I'd be. It has to be the most awful pain I've ever had, simple tasks like walking and sitting down or even going to the toilet were agonising and I never want that pain again.
I've come here because I feel like I need more support and I'm terrified about my future love life. Knowing that STD's are only looked upon as though you've 'slept around' which I haven't done, really makes me feel like no one will ever want me. I've had a fair few guys lately wanting to take me out on dates and I would usually go for it, but because of this I've turned every one of them down.
To make matters worse, I had a rare case where I got herpes eye simplex. Thank god it was only minor and got sorted but now I can't see as well out of that eye and I'm so scared about it coming back. I really need support on this because I've always had good eyesight.
I've changed my whole diet, I take vitamins, I use herbal treatments for breakouts.. I literally do everything to try and stop outbreaks and thank god it's somehow worked - I know I'm new but if anybody wants to know what I eat/do I'm happy to share although it might only work on certain people I have no idea because I'm so new to this. I know it's not a cure, but I just hope and pray there is one soon.
Any help/support would be really appreciated!
