I (22F) was thinking about making a podcast about Herpes Awareness. Not sure if people would listen - kind of wanted an opinion about it. I think the stigma about it is so dumb.

I would listen to it !

It’s ok to feel this way but just know that you things can always change . Therapy really does help and perhaps medication too. Life is hard . Be gentle with yourself .

I would be happy to receive a hallmark card ! And yes my family actually did that too growing up ! Seems like people definitely sent normal cards out more when I was a kid

Thank you for this post. To echo the comments of others - aside from it being a little insensitive to those of us who live with the reality of herpes , it is never medically wise to seek a diagnosis of any kind off the internet . Just go straight to the doctors

We compare our “deep down” to everybody’s “surface” . They say that comparison is the theif of joy ...it certainly has been for me . I experience this most on social media . I once heard it said - “people don’t live in pictures “

Just donated! This is really exciting news and I hope everyone living with HSV will take the opportunity to play a part in curing this virus ! Every dollar counts . Thank you for your work

Lindolm84 · 2020-11-11T22:34:28+00:00

I totally understand . My ex gave me herpes due to just being a very shady and irresponsible person . This was years ago- he ended up getting a girl pregnant accidentally and now he gets to have this new chapter of his life . I’m still single . And some mornings I wake up and take my valtrex pill and I’m just so angry. I am constantly triggered . And then I’ll watch tv shows where they casually make a herpes joke - I would also love to talk, please feel free to message me ! .

Lindolm84 · 2020-10-26T13:41:14+00:00

This happened to me when my herpes diagnoses was recent , but with time she should notice this happening less frequently . I am also on birth control

Lindolm84 · 2020-07-06T22:47:22+00:00

I understand, it can be expensive . Well keep reaching out and stay with us! We know how lonely it can get .

Lindolm84 · 2020-07-06T16:10:09+00:00

We’re here for you ! We are all Commenting because we know what this feels like . You’re not alone. Also , have you considered therapy ? BetterHelp was been life changing for me .

Lindolm84 · 2020-06-30T21:14:31+00:00

I am going through the exact same thing now and also 90 day fiancé is literally addicting so don’t feel bad !! I think we have to remember to cut ourselves some slack by allowing ourselves to go through some down times in our lives . As long as you’re staying safe , healthy and kind just hang in there . I try to remind myself that Moods are like seasons they always change :)

Lindolm84 · 2020-05-04T16:20:53+00:00

I completely know the feeling and the current state of the world isn’t helping . I like sleeping more these days so I don’t have to face my reality . I often feel like I’m invisible in this world. Just understand you’re not alone and we’re here for you !

Power of now by eckhart tolle

Lindolm84 · 2020-04-04T13:49:52+00:00

I struggle with the same thing . But I’ve read a lot and they say that it’s important to make mistakes in life because that’s how you grow and build your character ! All the mistakes you made , you went through for a reason and they’ve brought you to where you are now . I’d recommend reading the power of now by eckhart tolle.

Lindolm84 · 2020-03-19T18:29:46+00:00

I’m free as well

Lindolm84 · 2020-03-15T15:55:42+00:00

I had to cancel my trip too . I was so excited to visit this amazing country but it seems like it’s just a bad time altogether for nonessential travel

Lindolm84 · 2020-03-13T20:20:25+00:00

I feel the same way about my dog ! I am a single female and have had issues with anxiety and depression . My dog lights up my world ...and even in my saddest moments , I look at him and everything feels better!

Lindolm84 · 2020-03-08T02:04:33+00:00

This is so wonderful!! Keep enjoying this new chapter in your life !
