So I'm finally coming to terms with this and thought it would be a good idea to talk to others for advice..
I was diagnosed with GH just over a year ago, I've had about 5 outbreaks since.
I thought it gets easier after a year, but I haven't been having sex with my boyfriend because I'm scared- it's felt uncomfortable since and when we we do in swollen and in tears for days!
Has anyone else felt they can't have intercourse like they used to?
I've no confidence anymore
I totally get how you are feeling. Since my diagnosis sex isn't as enjoyable and really doesn't even feel the same. I get spots that are numb and just have no feeling from this. This disease took something I was finally able to enjoy and ruined it. It's always on my mind every time.
Hey ash, I was diagnosed about 7 months ago. I've finally come to terms with it, but part of me hasn't still.. I haven't been intimate with anyone since, I guess it has knocked my confidence. But I do remind myself that it could always be worse. We are still the same people we was before, catching herpes was out of our control.. It can happen to anyone and more people have it then you know.
