I noticed a lot of people come on here thinking they have herpes 😨😨😨😨 you need to seek professional help first then if you have herpes come on here for questions about future outbreaks, sex, relations & so on. When you come on here asking if you got herpes, we don't know we're guessing. We are not medical experts just because we have herpes. I'm not trying to put no one down but medical help first then here. When I found this page I was looking for hope dealing with herpes, some type of relief because I feel like I have to start all over again or possibly not & just try to live. Herpes changed me, it me depressed, feel inhuman & not normal. My ex of 5 yrs gave me herpes. I continued to stay with him until one day I said nope I got to leave. I've had more outbreaks than they said on average people have in a year because he stressed me out so much. Since then I've been better but decided to take meds everyday which is one. I recently started talking to someone but we're not in a relationship. Being a man I know he had needs but I'm scared to tell him. I kind of change the subject or ad void him. I talked to my doctor who said I can have a completely normal relationship & sex life 😱 Shocking to me since all the outbreaks. I'm working on getting myself together: diet change and exercise, multivitamins & more water. Things are slowly getting better and for those who are down it will for you too! Here's a site that made me beam with joy:
Wishing you will with your new relationship.
Totally agree with you and have been thinking the same lately! So often I get a notification about a new discussion and it just turns out to be the regular "Help, is this herpes?!" Call me bitter but I can't help feel this board is for those of us who do have herpes to support each other. Realistically many of the people who post on here in a panic wanting a diagnosis will go on to realise that what they have is not herpes, breath a sigh of relief, thank god they're not like us, and go back to their normal lives never to return to the board again. Yeah it's harsh but that's how I feel.
Yes that's how I feel too!
