Herpes-A Change for the Better?

[Christine106]

I just found out I have HSV-1 a little under a month ago so I have a lot of questions. I also have a lot of sadness and hopelessness right now. I was just wondering if anyone had any success stories, or ways this has impacted your life in a positive way. I just want to know what type of GOOD things can come and change from this discovery.

 

Knowing some of the good things this has caused or ways it has changed someone for the better would help me see what positive outcome I may be able to someday have.

Yep - we have tons of them ... I know others will chime in but here are a few from the past that I have collected ;)

Im including this success story as one example of the many success stories where the person says they are now in the healthiest relationship they have ever been in ;) As well as this one from today:

Thank you so much for posting these links, @WCSDancer2010. I really needed to read these. After a few weeks of starting to feel a bit better, three months after my diagnosis, I have had a few extremely low days where I've started to get all caught up in anger, self-pity and stressing so hard again over what I can't change (that I contracted herpes) and losing focus on the momentum I had been building, in learning to take care of myself and getting adjusted to the new normal. These are helping to pull me out of that funk.

We all go through our funks - if it isn't Herpes, it's our partner, our job, our kids , that 10 lbs we put on, or just because we feel like feeling crappy for awhile. The good thing is that if you get in a Herpes Funk, you can come here to get lifted out of it ;)
