Fri, October 10, 2008

On October 7th was the first day and the last day of my life i felt, that day i found out i got herpies from a guy i thought was faithful to me. We broke up and not thinking about it then he passed away. I never thought what he ment by it but he sent me a email saying he loves me and that he is sorry, i didnt understand what he ment by that. Then  i got the call. When i first was told about it i was floored shocked upset.i have not had a outbreak but it could happen. Alot of my friends were worried about me ect... when i told them they all looked at me walked away one by one. I texted them all said  i am still the same person as before you cant get it but i cant make people change there minds.

I am having a hard time with this cause now i am SCARED to even think about getting with someone!!! The fact i have it and would feel bad if someone got it cause we all know condoms break. I am more carefull now around my child,, i dont think i will ever be the same again mentally.

I got it a few months ago after deciding to give my ex-husband another chance. We did not use any protection and about a week later he tells me that he might have herpes. I wasn't sure how to feel at first and then I figured okay we are together and I guess if things stay that way then it's not so big of a deal. It turned out that he did give it to me and I was even hospitalized with viral meningitis believed to have been caused by herpes. Well, all was fine until a few days ago when I realized he was keeping things from me and turns out he was still communicating with some other lady behind my back and so I left him, again. Now I just feel kind of stunned that this is happening and now I feel like no one will ever want me.

It is possible to feel better. It takes time and no one can tell you how long, its up to you. We as the people who get it and are stunned, hurt and scared because we didn't know at the time these people are holding this secrect. But as long as you look at it as if there was not more to you besides sex before you knew you had it, then you will not feel better. You have life after, youhad goals before, you had dreams before, you can still get there.  Love is out there, if not only from your child.  You will have life after. that is why this sight is here, to talk to people who are going through it too.

im so sorry to hear that....i was diagosed in sept of 2008....it is veryhard for me as well. i am also nervous about passing it on to my children. I have good days and weeks where i might think about it, but the thought soon goes away. On the other hand i have days where i cant stop thinking about it and get really depressed!!! i also start thinking of other worse possibilities and std's... again im sorry...i understand the mental anguish this causes. I am also an asthmatic and i have a higher chance of issues with my asthma however that societal stigma of gential herpes is hard to shake,,,,Embarassed
