I was just recently diagnosed with genital herpes two months ago.  The past couple months have been the hardest time of my life.  I am very depressed and don't know how to continue living my life with this disease.  I can't believe I even have it, I keep thinking I will wake up one day and everything will be back to normal.  I know I need to accept the facts, but at this point I just can't bring myself to do it.  There are so many questions I have I don't even know where to start... Does anyone know of any preventative medication that is cheap bc I do not currently have health insurance?  Also how the heck to I go about dating again?  I feel absolutely disgusting and not worthy of anybody.  Is there a right way to tell someone??  Is there a way I can meet others in my situation so I can get some support?  If you have any answers or advice in general PLEASE help me.  I am lost right now...

There are two types of HSV, HSV type 1 and 2, and both can cause genital herpes.
