I need somebody to talk to..


Recommended Posts

I just need some help. I'm going through a lot right now and knowing that I have this just makes everything worse. It haunts my sleep at night and it's the first thing I think about when I wake up and the last thing I think about when I go to sleep and it's what I think about the rest of the day. I can't stop stressing about it. I feel so gross and unlovable. I feel disgusting. Is there anything that anybody else does to help them? I feel so alone in this..

You're not alone at all. A LOT of us have suffered the same feeling. I was recently diagnosed almost a month ago & though it didn't really surprise me because I had already felt like I had it(I was going through an outbreak) it's still a really hard pill to swallow. I'm still struggling with it just the same as you but educating yourself on the virus itself helps a lot. Especially depending on which type you have. I was tested positive for genital hsv-1 & I have TONS of questions. It's a learning experience for us all :). You're not alone, you're in the right place

Hey shn! I literally just had a HSV- friend complain to me that she hasn't had sex in 2 weeks and i wanted to scream lol so i can definitely relate to the negative feelings you're experiencing. I'm probably not the best to give advice because I'm still getting through it, but i think the biggest thing that has helped is doing research and understanding just how minuscule the chances of transmission are. I also read a lot of Ella Dawson's blog posts which made me feel a bit more positive about everything.(https://ellacydawson.wordpress.com). Feel free to message me if you ever want to vent :)

Hugs!
