Need a pick me up

[jb1691]

Hey everyone how are you doing? I just got my third outbreak since i was diagnosed with HSV-2 gential herpers in November. I must say this really is a confidence killer. Every since finding out that i had herpes, my confidence has gone so low and i dont know what is wrong with me anymore. I try telling myself it is fine, but i still cant accept this and regain my confidence. I need some kind of pick me up to help me get through this.

First - welcome... glad you found us...

 

Quick note - you can edit your posts...there is a link right by the time stamp for that :)

 

So - the best thing I can tell you to do is to read some of the successful disclosures (I'll link them below) and just read as much as you can on here, watch Adrials videos and read the blogs, and get to know people on here. This is a wonderful place for support, information, etc.

 

Try these links first, and maybe look up HarrytheHerp's posts (you can go to his page and see a link to the discussions he's started) His humor is a pick-me up for anyone with Herpes ;)

 

I've had H for over 35 years and I can promise you that it isn't the end of the world... I've had a great 20 yr marriage and a couple BF's post divorce and 2 beautiful daughters. Herpes is really just a nuisance rash in an inconvenient place once you get used to it... and there are plenty of things you can do to lessen the OB's.

 

Are you on supressive therapy? That and Epsom Salts baths for starters (dump the salts right between your legs so it's concentrated there) and going commando are the top 3 things that seem to help most people to get control of it faster. Over time your body should get better at controlling it as well.

 

(((HUGS))) Try these links ... there are some great stories on here :
