DreamingH022

I know exactly how you feel. My giver said the same thing to me when I told him I was herpes positive. I was just dumbfounded by how much of an asshole he was acting like. He was being so heartless & made me feel like I was trash. We're not together anymore. But I'm still trying to heal & cope. It's a hard process. But what's helped me just deal is remind myself everyday that I'm not my disease. My disease doesn't define who I am. My disease didn't give me my compassion, intelligence, talent & beauty. & I'm not a bad or disgusting person. & then I just try to remind myself about what my goals are & what I want to do with my life. I can't let this stupid disease stop me from having an amazing & fulfilling life. I can't control what happened to me, but I can control how I deal with it & how I can use it to my advantage. You know, turn a negative into a positive. & when I've achieved the success I want to achieve in life, have the means to help those that suffer from the same problem along the way & tell them I've been there, know what you're going through & I can help you. I'm sure you are an amazing & talented person & you have so much to offer this world. Focus on that. It sorta helps.
