Hey Jayy,

 

I'm sorry you feel scared. I hear you. I was scared when I first found out I had herpes, too. But you know what the secret is to realizing it's not as big a deal as you may be seeing it as?

 

Educating yourself about it. Educating your future partners about it. Reading as much of the herpeslife.com blog as possible. Reading the "general inspiration" category on these forums. Continuing to post your feelings to these forums and get support to realize this is just something you have and it's not the end of the world. I promise you. It very well could be the beginning of a new path for you.
