living with herpes is sad...

[justfoundout042]

I just found out 3 days ago and it's crazy. I never in my life have had any STD and then I found out that I have herpes. I have only told one person and im at the point where I will never be able to live a normal life. I'm so ashamed of myself. All I wanted in life was to be happy and have a family. And It's not looking like that will ever happen.

`I know how you feel I felt the same way when I found out I was diagnosed with HSV this January. It's a very hard situation to go through. Just know that it gets better day by day and that you're are not alone!! I told more of my friends than my family and I'm very scared to tell my family. All my friends however was supporting and still love me for me, but they are not the people that I have to live with the rest of my life. Always remember with God all things are possible because he's the healer of all healers and you'll be alright. Rely on your support groups to help your through this emotional but painful time and don't stress it!!!!!!!

ive had several outbreaks in the last 6 months...... including rt now...i feel like crap...sometimes i think about killing this guy. he says he knew it was something but didnt know what it was. (I just have a hard time blvng that)...didnt bother saying that until AFTER we had s--. Worst thing about it, i actually waited almost 7 months to become intimate with him AND i requested and followed through with us first getting tested in the same room together before we started having s--....getting a blood test for Herpes didnt come across my mind...Just my luck... I hate him.

`Peace my bothers and sisters. I have read some posts and I want everyone to know that you can and will still have a great future. I married in to herpies because I thought I was going to be with the one I loved forever. She left me. Coldblooded but the point is that many people see the value in someone even with a nasty disease. It will not kill you and with good stress management and some great medicine it will not dominate your life. You can still reproduce and we are all beautiful. I wanted to make some shirts that said "got herpies?" Instead of got milk. Life goes on and herpies doesnt have to be a sad thing. Life is a garden dig it. No one should look down on themselves and when my t-shirts get big everyone is getting one for free. Everyone have a great day.

`FIRST: that's not my profile picture! Idk?? Living with H2 has been sad for me. I was diagnosed 12 years ago. Since then, I have had one long term relationship and he knew my status. I have been rejected to my face four times by men when I told them - I wanted to tell them before things got very far in the relationship - and the last rejection I told the man "You don't know if I could be the woman you Would fall in total love with. But, if you choose to not move forward, I will accept it." It's hard for me - these rejections- in so many ways. I am lonely and longing for love and intimacy. Being looked at and rejected as though I am a leper, is extremely painful. I am A 43 year old woman who has spent many years being good, honest, loyal, loving, caring and non-dramati with/to others, yet, any chances for love have been ruined by H2. In my own opinion, even though it has taken years to be able to say it, I am worthy of very good things, I am lovely and beautiful and have a lot of femininity that men find attractive. But - none of that has attracted a male that wants to love me for me with HS2. Men hit on me a lot, but they are not gentlemen. It seems like I am going through life with a beautiful mask on - but then I take it off to reveal the ugliness of H2, and poof - I am alone. This - finding sites, forums, support groups, is my last stop. Rejection has cut me deep. Please don't think I am conceited; I am not. I believe it is okay And good to have enough wisdom to see one's own beauty, value, femininity/masculinity. I want to be loved by a man . . . "Even though . . ."
