I am in shock, disappointment, hurt, and sad. I’m usually optimistic but how can I live like this. So back in November 2018, I had my first outbreak. I was diagnosed with HSV-2 genial herpes. now I have HSV-1 oral herpes. I feel like a piece of shit. How did I end up with both?!! who would ever want to be with someone like me? I’ve already completely stopped dating because i’m so scared to say anything. this sucks so bad. i would really love some words of encouragement and how can I get through this.

You are lovable and worthy. While not everyone will understand this that doesn’t change the amazing person u are. Just do what you have to do to take care of yourself and remember who You are.

80% of the population has herpes. There’s such a large stigma against it and it shouldn’t be. There is someone out there that will love all of you stay strong
