Some Relief (good news) and then...some questions

[Reachout2014]

Hi everyone!

I wanted to come and share a little good news because i feel like I've been nothing but gloom and doom lately. As you know I've been queen paranoia and not very comfortable in my own skin with this virus. I had only told one of my close friends and my giver about having H. Well I have a trip to Disneyland coming up with another very close friend.

 

I guess my silence from the passed few weeks alerted her that something was wrong and I had really been dodging talking about anything because I didn't want her to think any less of me, be afraid or whatever else. Anyway I finally got up the nerve and told her about the whole situation. Her response was, "thank god! I thought you were diagnosed with something terminal or you got pregnant!" I was able to laugh about this for the first time. She kept reassuring me it was not a huge deal and saying that it wasn't a big deal and told me that she had another friend go through the same thing a year ago. What a relief!!!! It just felt good being honest, I hate secrets and part of me feels more free knowing another friend knows. I went to bed happy last night.

 

Now this morning I woke with a pimple on my nose or at least that's what I hope it was. I, not thinking about it popped it. White puss ensued. I cleaned it and then it hit me OH CRAP! Was that herpes??? Gah I know I for sure have GHSV2 don't know if it'd anywhere else. I've had super chapped lips but no sores but I think that's because of stress and me licking my lips a ton. Only the passed week chapped. My first GHSV outbreak was a little over three weeks ago. Anyway the pimple is popped and you can't really tell it was even there. Does a large pimple, white fluid, then gone sound like a herpes thing? Or a stop being paranoid thing?

Sounds like paranoia friend ... aka, it's a ZIT.

 

Glad you told your friend .... you are only as sick as your secrets ;)

Soooo glad u feel that sense of relief and freedom with someone else. And wonderful about ur friends reaction and u can chuckle .....u r moving forward.

 

As for the pimple, I am the last one to ask about being paranoid so I won't give advice there. Odds are it is a pimple and u can relax.

I don't think you're anywhere near likely to get hsv2 on your nose! Haha and there's no way you'd be able to casually pop it like a pimple :) try not to be too paranoid! It's awesome that you got a laugh and were able to tell people in your life that you're close too. :)
