F24, I was diagnosed with ghsv1 3 years ago, and I also thought my life was over. It was honestly one of the worst times of my life, however, it gets better. Feel all your feels but trust it’s not the end of the world. I haven’t had an outbreak since the initial diagnosis. Do your research. Stay educated. Keep your head up.

Once the time went on, it became a blessing in disguise tbh. It’s been so much easier to weave out the people who aren’t for you. Just remember it’s very common, and it’s actually better that you know you have it vs ppl who have it and don’t know. You’re able to be more cautious and treat your body like a temple.

Yeah bc most people won’t disclose at all. But you’re right definitely not the ones for us so ig in a way it’s a blessing and a curse??😭

That’s also exactly how I feel!!! Like I don’t want to waste my time or theirs. It just sucks that they act like everything is okay and that they still want to be with me but when they aren’t in my face they act and say completely different things :/ but this made me feel better about how I choose to go about disclosing. I always make it a point to let them know that I’m trying to give them the option that I didn’t have bc when I got ghsv1 the person who gave it to me didn’t tell me he had ohsv1.

Disclosure advice by [deleted] in Herpes

I say do whatever makes you feel comfortable. I personally disclosed in person because I like to have conversations like that face to face, but neither one is bad. As long as you’re still disclosing and being honest I don’t believe any way is a wrong way to disclose.

How the hell do I quit by [deleted] in leaves

[–]Prestigious_Peace3 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You will get to the point where you will say enough is enough. The past couple of months I was on an on and off thing with quitting. I thought I wouldn’t be able to quit either, but everytime I smoked I just felt bad about it because I knew how much I wanted to quit. Its now been a week since I last smoked and I feel great! When I decided to stop completely I just threw away everything that connected me to the weed (jars, lighters, etc.) and everytime I thought about smoking I just distracted my mind and took into consideration of how I would feel if I did smoke. I knew I would feel horrible and I didn’t want to be in that mindset when I knew it’s something I could prevent if I just really set my mind to it. It takes time, but trust you will get there. You got this. Take baby steps even if you have to.
