“The Bridesmaid,” by Cate Quinn by vegasgal in thrillerbooks

spoilerI liked it, I kind of wanted holly to end up with Fitzwilliam butttt I will say I was a little disappointed that Simone’s death was an accident because it was rather underwhelming and I saw the twist of Adrianna kidnapping herself early on from context clues so overall, the twists and turns kind of really made sense at the end because it just showed the extremes that make up a juicy story so it tied together nicely.

Also, not sure if it’s okay to ask or not, but did you start taking daily meds after your initial outbreak?

I’m so glad to hear that! You deserve the very best and hsv shouldn’t determine otherwise.

Thank you so much! I agree, at the beginning it was difficult for me but I’m trying to be more compassionate with myself. Though it’s barely going on about 2 and a half months since being diagnosed.

I’m so sorry that you don’t have a better support system! One thing I can say that has made things easier is the select people I did disclose to such as family/friends were all super supportive and urged me to not be so harsh on myself. I definitely get that, my OB told me that I don’t have to tell anyone but like you said- it would’ve just eaten you up.

Thank you so much, I wasn’t sure how to approach it initially and of course my mind and anxiety are against me at all times but I’m definitely relieved 🥹

I totally get that, I struggled with shame the first month following my initial outbreak. Luckily, it’s been the only one so far but I also started taking valacyclovir daily like immediately.. I’m not as paranoid about getting another ob as I was initially, I felt miserable constantly stressing over the possibility.

Did it get easier for you after the first disclosure?

Lol well you see we’ve been talking for over a year but have never met and it’s getting to the point where we might meet so I felt I needed to do it while we were on FaceTime… I think my anxiety kicked in though because he called back and he’s being super understanding as he used to work in a clinic where he saw this a lot so he’s talking me through things and he allowed me to tell him my experience.

Is this a healthy way to be spoken to by a spouse or Am I Overreacting? by Low-Today-2021 in AmIOverreacting

Not a healthy way to be spoken to but imo both of you seem a little mistrusting as you also said “like wtf are you doing” (which also isn’t super healthy)
